Abstract

In the title triangulo-triruthenium(0) compound, [Ru(3)(C(25)H(22)As(2))(C(6)H(12)Cl(3)O(3)P)(CO)(9)], the bis-(diphenyl-arsino)methane ligand bridges an Ru-Ru bond and the monodentate phosphine ligand bonds to the third Ru atom. Both the arsine and phosphine ligands are equatorial with respect to the Ru(3) triangle. In addition, each Ru atom carries one equatorial and two axial terminal carbonyl ligands. In the crystal packing, the mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional framework. Weak inter-molecular C-H⋯π inter-actions further stabilize the crystal structure.
