Abstract:
In the title compound, [Ru(CH3OCS2)2(C18H15P)2], the Ru(II) atom is in a distorted octa-hedral coordination by two xanthate anions (CH3OCS2) and two tri-phenyl-phosphane (PPh3) ligands. Both bidentate xanthate ligands coordinate the Ru(II) atom with two slightly different Ru-S bond lengths but with virtually equal bite angles [71.57 (4) and 71.58 (3)°]. The packing of the complexes is assured by C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π inter-actions.
