Can Both Ligands in Ru(phen)2(NCS)2 Bind via the Same Atom?

[SOLVED] Linkage isomer in complexes

I would like to ask a question on linkage isomer on complexes.
Say, I have a complex Ru(phen)2(NCS)2.
NCS can exhibit linkage isomer.
Suppose I focus on linkage isomerism only, regardless of optical isomer or geometrical isomer.
Surely, the complex can exist as S-C=N->Ru<-N=C-S and N=C-S->Ru<-S-C=N.
Can the complex be exist as S-C=N->Ru<-S-C=N.

p.s.: sorry for my poor representation, = means triple bond and either -> or <- is dative covalent bond.

Thanks.
John

there's 3 isomers in that case isn't there?

1x N linkage
1x S linkage
1x Mixture

there's technically four, but since the other "Mixture" isomer is equivalent to the first one chemically, I'd say there was three personally...
