A new di-nuclear ruthenium arene compound containing thiosemicarbazone ligands, [Ru(η⁶-cymene)(TSC)Cl]₂(PF₆)₂ (2), was synthesized and characterized by ¹H NMR, HR-ESI-MS, and elemental analysis. Furthermore, the complete structure of 2 was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations with B3LYP functional and LANL2DZ (for Ru)/6-31G* (for other atoms) basis sets were carried out for the reactions involving complexes 1 and 2 in order to understand the formation of the complexes. The in vitro anticancer activities of the compound were investigated against five human cancer cell lines (SGC-7901, CNE-2, HepG2, KB and HeLa), and the IC₅₀ values are 39.5, 45.8, 49.8, 54.5 and 61.8 μM, respectively.
