Structural study of trans-[RuCl2(C2H2S)4] using X-ray crystallography

The structure of title conpound (I) has been studied by X-ray crystallography. It shows a orthorho~nbic unit cell, space group Pbcu (No, aa), witli 2-4, a-8.43 12(5) Å , b=14.1 135(7) Å, c=14.7463(7) Å, V=1754.72(16) Å' at 293K. In the crystal structure, as it has been shown in figure (I), RU" ion is situated in special position (4a) witli 1 symmetry. Six ligands, four dimethyl sulfides through their S atoms and two chlorides. coordinate to the central ion and occupy general position (8c).
