Abstract: The title compound, [RuCl(C₂₅H₂₂P₂)₂(H₂O)]PF₆·1.73CH₄O, contains a pseudo-octahedral ruthenium complex cation with two bidentate diphosphine ligands and cis-disposed chloro and aqua ligands, together with a disordered hexafluorophosphate anion and disordered methanol solvent molecules. Identification as an aquaruthenium(II) complex rather than a hydroxoruthenium(III) complex was confirmed by cyclic voltammetry.
