The title compound [Ru(C5H5)(C2H5NS)(C18H15P)(2)]-BF4 crystallizes in
the space group P2(1)/c. The Ru atom has pseudotetrahedral coordinatio
n geometry formed by the cyclopentadienyl centroid, the two PPh(3) lig
ands and the 5 atom of the neutral thioacetamide molecule. The Ru-S an
d C=S distances are 2.3820 (13) and 1.671 (5) Angstrom, respectively,
and the Ru-S=C angle is 116.3 (2)degrees. The Ru atom is at a distance
of 0.405 (9) Angstrom from the plane formed by the atoms of the thioa
cetamide group.
