(RuN5Cl)2(AuCl4)2Cl2O is Indium-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two chlorine monoxide molecules, four AuCl4 clusters, and four RuN5Cl clusters. In two of the AuCl4 clusters, Au(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Cl(2,3,5) atoms. Cl(2,3,5) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Au(1) atom. In two of the AuCl4 clusters, Au(2) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to two equivalent Cl(4) and two equivalent Cl(6) atoms. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(4) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Au(2) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(6) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Au(2) atom. In each RuN5Cl cluster, Ru(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one N(1), one N(2), one N(3), one N(4), and one N(5) atom. There are five inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ru(1) atom. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to one Ru(1) and one Cl(1) atom. In the third N site, N(3) is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to one Ru(1) and one Cl(1) atom. In the fourth N site, N(4) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ru(1) atom. In the fifth N site, N(5) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ru(1) atom. Cl(1) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one N(2) and one N(3) atom.
