Di-μ₂-bromido-bis[bromido(η⁶-1,2,4,5-tetramethylbenzene)ruthenium(II)]

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Ru2Br4(C10H14)2], contains one half of the centrosymmetric mol­ecule. Each Ru center is coordinated by tetra­methyl­benzene ring in a η6-coordination mode, and one terminal and two bridging bromine atoms. The aromatic rings and the Ru2Br2 four-membered ring form a dihedral angle of 55.99 (8)°. In the crystal structure, weak inter­molecular C—H⋯Br inter­actions link mol­ecules into chains propagated in [001].
