[μ-Bis(di-o-tolyl­phosphan­yl)methane-1:2κ(2) P:P′]nona­carbonyl-1κ(3) C,2κ(3) C,3κ(3) C-[diphen­yl(phenyl­sulfanylmeth­yl)phosphane-3κP]-triangulo-triruthenium(0) dichloro­methane 0.25-solvate

In the title compound, [Ru(3)(C(29)H(30)P(2))(C(19)H(17)PS)(CO)(9)]·0.25CH(2)Cl(2), the atoms of the dichloro­methane solvent mol­ecule have a fractional site occupancy of 0.25; the dichloro­methane mol­ecule is disordered about an inversion centre. The bis­(di-o-tolyl­phosphan­yl)methane ligand bridges an Ru—Ru bond and the monodentate phosphane ligand bonds to the third Ru atom; its S-bonded phenyl ring is disordered over two orientations in a 0.53 (4):0.47 (4) ratio. All the P atoms are equatorial with respect to the Ru(3) triangle: each Ru atom also bears one equatorial and two axial terminal carbonyl ligands. The dihedral angles between the two benzene rings attached to each P atom of the diphenyl­phosphanyl ligand are 68.4 (2) and 71.5 (2)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked into [001] chains via inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Weak inter­molecular C—H⋯π inter­actions also occur.
