%X The molecular structure of Ru2(&#181;-O2CCF3)2(CO)4(NCMe)2, obtained from Ru3(CO)10(NCMe)2 and CF3CO2H, or from Ru3(CO)12 and CF3CO2H in a CH2Cl2/MeCN mixture, is presented. The central Ru&#8211;Ru bond &#91;2&#183;683(1) &#197;&#93; is bridged by the two carboxylato ligands &#91;Ru&#8211;O (average) 2&#183;133 &#197;&#93;. Each ruthenium carries mutually cis CO ligands approximately trans to the Ru&#8211;O vectors and an MeCN ligand in the axial position &#91;Ru&#8211;N (average) 2&#183;18 &#197;&#93;.
