The triply chloro-bridged binuclear complex [Ru2Cl5(CO)(PPh3)3]·CH2Cl2, (PPh3 = triphenylphosphine), Mr = 1279.23, prepared from the precursor compound [RuCl3(PPh3)2DMA]·DMA (DMA = N,N'-dimethylacetamide) and crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c. The structure was solved from 6994 independent reflections for which I > 3σ(I) by Patterson and difference Fourier techniques and refined to a final R = 0.042. The complex is formed by two Ru atoms bridged through three chloride anions. One Ru atom is further coordinated to two non-bridging Cl atoms and a triphenylphosphine ligand, whereas the other is bonded to two PPh3 ligands and a carbon monoxide molecule. The presence of RuIII was confirmed by EPR data. The absence of an intervalence charge-transfer transition (IT) in the near-infrared spectrum suggests that the binuclear complex is of a localized valence type. The IR spectrum shows a νCO band at 1964cm- and νRu-Cl bands at 328, 280 cm-1, corresponding to chlorides at terminal positions and 250, 225 cm-1 for the bridged ones. Two redox processes, RuII/RuII (E1/2 = -0.29 V) ← RuII/RuIII ← (E1/2 = 1.19 V) RuIII/RuIII, were observed by cyclic voltammetry.
