Crystal structure of (μ-4-hy­droxy­benzene­thiol­ato-κ(2) S:S)bis­(μ-phenyl­methane­thiol­ato-κ(2) S:S)bis­[(η(6)-1-isopropyl-4-methyl­benzene)­ruthenium(II)] tetra­fluorido­borate

The crystal structure of the dinuclear arene ruthenium title complex, [Ru(2)(C(6)H(5)OS)(C(7)H(7)S)(2)(C(10)H(14))(2)]BF(4), 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 BF(4) (−) 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.
