Crystal structure of bis­[μ-(4-meth­oxy­phen­yl)methane­thiol­ato-κ(2) S:S]bis­[chlorido­(η(6)-1-isopropyl-4-methyl­benzene)­ruthenium(II)] chloro­form disolvate

The mol­ecular structure of the title complex, [Ru(2)(C(8)H(9)OS)(2)Cl(2)(C(10)H(14))(2)]·2CHCl(3) or (p-MeC(6)H(4)Pr(i))(2)Ru(2)(SCH(2)-p-C(6)H(5)-OCH(3))(2)Cl(2)·2CHCl(3), shows inversion symmetry. The two symmetry-related Ru(II) atoms are bridged by two 4-meth­oxy-α-toluene­thiol­ato [(4-meth­oxy­phen­yl)methane­thiol­ato] units. One chlorido ligand and the p-cymene ligand complete the typical piano-stool coordination environment of the Ru(II) atom. In the crystal, the CH moiety of the chloro­form mol­ecule inter­acts with the chlorido ligand of the dinuclear complex, while one Cl atom of the solvent inter­acts more weakly with the methyl group of the bridging 4-meth­oxy-α-toluene­thiol­ato unit. This assembly leads to the formation of supra­molecular chains extending parallel to [021].
