Abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Ru(C₂H₃N)(phen)(terpy)](PF₆)₂ [phen is 1,10-phenanthroline (C₁₂H₈N₂) and terpy is 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (C₁₅H₁₁N₃)] contains a monomeric [Ru(CH₃CN)(phen)(terpy)]²⁺ cation and two hexafluorophosphate anions. The ligand environment about the Ru atom is distorted octahedral. The Ru-N distances are in the range 1.933  (5)-2.083  (5)  Å and the Ru-N(acetonitrile) distance is 2.016  (7)  Å.
