The title compound, [Ru(C7F5O2)2(C10H14)(C21H24N2)]·2CH2Cl2, is formed as an orange crystalline powder by the reaction of RuCl2(p-cymene)(IMes) and AgOCOC6F5 in anhydrous tetra­hydro­furan (IMes = 1,3-dimesityl-2,3-di­hydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl­idene). The asymetric unit consists of two independent [Ru(C6F5COO)26-p-cymene)(IMes)] com­plexes and four dichloro­methane solvent mol­ecules. In each complex molecule, the Ru atom presents a pseudo-octa­hedral environment with the p-cymene ligand occupying three facial coordination sites, while the remaining coordination positions are occupied by the O atoms of the penta­fluoro­benzoate ligands and by the imidazolyl­idene ligand.
