trans-Di-µ-carbonyl-bis-{carbon-yl[η-2,3,4,5-tetra-methyl-1-(2-thien-yl)cyclo-penta-dien-yl]ruthenium(I)}(Ru-Ru).

ABSTRACT

The title compound, [Ru(2)(C(13)H(15)S)(2)(CO)(4)], is a centrosymmetric binuclear metal-carbonyl complex containing an Ru-Ru single bond [2.7511 (8) Å]. Each Ru(I) atom is coordinated by two bridging carbonyl ligands, one terminal carbonyl ligand and one η(5)-cyclo-penta-dienyl group. The complex has a trans conformation and the two cyclo-penta-dienyl ring planes are parallel. The crystal structure involves weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
