Crystal structure of (μ-4-hy­droxy­benzene­thiol­ato-κ2S:S)bis­(μ-phenyl­methane­thiol­ato-κ2S:S)bis­(η6-1-isopropyl-4-methyl­benzene)­ruthenium(II) tetra­fluorido­borate

摘要

The crystal structure of the dinuclear arene ruthenium title complex, [Ru2(C6H5OS)(C7H7S)2(C10H14)2]BF4, shows the two Ru^II atoms to be bridged by two benzyl­thio­pheno­late units and one 4-hy­droxy­thio­pheno­late unit, with the remaining three coordination sites of each Ru^II atom being occupied by p-cymene ligands, completing the typical piano-stool coordination geometry. The BF4 ⁻ counter-anion is surrounded by four cationic dinuclear complexes, showing an O—H⋯F hydrogen bond and several weak C—H⋯F inter­actions. This is the first example of an X-ray analysis of a mixed dinuclear tri­thiol­ate arene ruthenium(II) complex.
