%X The synthesis and room-temperature single-crystal X-ray structure determination of the title compound are recorded. Crystals are monoclinic, P 21/c, a 14.43(2), b 18.39(1), c 23.64(3) &#506;, &#946; 123.16(7)&#176;, Z = 4, isostructural with the recently described Fe3Ru5 analogue; R was 0.048 for 6892 'observed' data [I > 3&#963;(I)]. The cluster is one of the few containing separated carbide ligands within a polyhedral metal skeleton, consisting of an Ru5C square pyramid and an Ru6C octahedron sharing a triangular face, with two PPh2 groups bridging opposite Ru-Ru vectors in each polyhedron.
