Abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Ru₂Br₄(C₁₀H₁₄)₂], contains one half of the centrosymmetric molecule. Each Ru center is coordinated by tetramethylbenzene ring in a ⁶-coordination mode, and one terminal and two bridging bromine atoms. The aromatic rings and the Ru₂Br₂ four-membered ring form a dihedral angle of 55.99 (8)°. In the crystal structure, weak intermolecular C-HBr interactions link molecules into chains propagated in [001].
