G. R. Clark, W. R. Roper, D. M. Tonei and L. J. Wright

Abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, [Ru(C₁₂H₁₂O₆)(C₁₈H₁₅P)₂(CO)], confirms its formulation as a ruthenabenzofuran, with a slightly distorted octahedral coordination environment at the Ru^II ion, and mutually trans triphenylphosphine ligands. The metallabicyclic ring system is essentially planar (maximum deviation 0.059 Å).
