Abstract: Reaction of [Ru(Tp)Cl(PPh₃)₂] {where Tp is hydridotripyrazolylborate, BH[C₃H₃N₂)₃)]} with NH₄[S₂P(OEt)₂] in methanol afforded the title compound, [Ru(C₉H₁₀BN₆)(C₄H₁₀O₂PS₂)(C₁₈H₁₅P)], in which the Ru^II ion is in a slightly disorted octahedral coordination environment. The [S₂P(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 -OCH₂CH₃ groups of the diethyl dithiophosphate ligand are disordered over two sites with approximate occupancies of 0.76 and 0.24.
