Compounds 2 and 3 are X-ray isomorphous. The Ru–S bond lengths range from 2.341(3), 2.365(3) Å in compound 4 to 2.382(4) Å in compound 2. Upon chelation (compound 4), with subsequent loss of PPh₃, the Ru–P bond shortens to 2.327(3) Å. This may be due to reduced steric hindrance about the Ru atom. No evidence for C–S bond lengthening is observed.
