Dimethyl 7a-carbonyl-2-meth­oxy-7a,7a-bis­(triphenyl­phosphino)-7a-ruthena-1-benzofuran-4,7-dicarboxyl­ate

The crystal structure of the title compound, [Ru(C12H12O6)(C18H15P)2(CO)], confirms its formulation as a ruthenabenzofuran, with a slightly distorted octa­hedral coordination environment at the RuII ion, and mutually trans triphenyl­phosphine ligands. The metallabicyclic ring system is essentially planar (maximum deviation 0.059 A).
