Abstract: Reaction of [Ru(Tp)Cl(PPh₃)₂] (Tp = hydridotrispyrazolylborate) with ammonium dithiobenzoate in methanol leads to the formation of the title compound, [Ru(C₉H₁₀BN₆)(C₇H₅S₂)(C₁₈H₁₅P)]. In the crystal structure, the Ru atom is coordinated by three N atoms of the Tp ligand, one P atom of the triphenylphosphine ligand and the two S atoms of the dithiobenzoate ligand within a slightly distorted octahedron. The Ru-S bonds are slightly different [2.321 (1) and 2.396 (1) Å] and the average N-Ru-N angle is 86.31°.
