RuC4(O2I)2 is alpha U structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four RuC4(O2I)2 clusters. Ru(1) is bonded in a distorted octahedral geometry to two equivalent C(1), two equivalent C(2), and two equivalent I(1) atoms. 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. I(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ru(1) atom.
