Abstract

The title compound, [Ru2(C22H34Si2)(CO)4], contains two RuI atoms linked by a bridging (η5-tBuC5H2)2(SiMe2)2 ligand (tBu is a tert-butyl and Me is a methyl group) with an Ru—Ru bond length of 2.8401 (7) Å. The dihedral angle between the planes of the cyclo­penta­dienyl rings of the ligand is 123.13 (19)°. The four terminal carbonyl ligands are bound in a symmetrical and staggered array. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked via pairs of C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers.
