In the title compound, [Ru(CH3OCS2)2(C18H15P)2], the RuII atom is in a distorted octahedral coordination by two xanthate anions (CH3OCS2) and two triphenylphosphane (PPh3) ligands. Both bidentate xanthate ligands coordinate the RuII atom with two slightly different Ru—S bond lengths but with virtually equal bite angles [71.57 (4) and 71.58 (3)°]. The packing of the complexes is assured by C—HO and C—Hπ interactions.
