The title compound, cis ‐di‐μ‐perfluoroheptanoato‐κ 4 O : O ′‐bis[dicarbonyl(dimethyl sulfoxide‐κ S )ruthenium(I)]( Ru — Ru ), [Ru 2 (C 7 F 13 O 2 ) 2 (C 2 H 6 OS) 2 (CO) 4 ], is a sawhorse‐type dinuclear ruthenium complex with two bridging perfluoroheptanoate ligands, and with two dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) ligands in the axial positions coordinating via the S atoms. It is a new example of a compound with an aliphatic fluorinated carboxylate ligand. The Ru—Ru bond distance of 2.6908 (3) Å indicates a direct Ru—Ru interaction. The compound is an active catalyst in transvinylation of propionic acid with vinyl acetate.
