title: (O,O'-Diethyl dithio-phosphato-κS,S')(hydridotripyrazol-1-ylborato-κN,N,N)(triphenyl-phosphine-κP)ruthenium(II).
abstract: Reaction of [Ru(Tp)Cl(PPh(3))(2)] {where Tp is hydridotri-pyrazol-yl-borate, BH[C(3)H(3)N(2))(3))]} with NH(4)[S(2)P(OEt)(2)] in methanol afforded the title compound, [Ru(C(9)H(10)BN(6))(C(4)H(10)O(2)PS(2))(C(18)H(15)P)], in which the Ru(II) ion is in a slightly disorted octa-hedral coordination environment. The [S(2)P(OEt)(2)](-) ligand coordinates in a chelating mode with two similar Ru-S bond lengths and a slightly acute S-Ru-S angle. The atoms of both -OCH(2)CH(3) groups of the diethyl dithio-phosphate ligand are disordered over two sites with approximate occupancies of 0.76 and 0.24.
