RuC3O3Br2 is Indium-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two RuC3O3Br2 clusters. Ru(1) is bonded to one C(2), two equivalent C(1), one Br(1), and two equivalent Br(2) atoms to form edge-sharing RuC3Br3 octahedra. There are two inequivalent C sites. In the first C site, C(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Ru(1) and one O(2) atom. In the second C site, C(2) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Ru(1) and one O(1) atom. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C(2) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C(1) atom. There are two inequivalent Br sites. In the first Br site, Br(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ru(1) atom. In the second Br site, Br(2) is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Ru(1) atoms.
