Abstract: The title compound, [RuCl(C₂₄H₁₆N₂)(C₁₅H₁₁N₃)]PF₆, consists of a monomeric Ru^II complex cation and a hexafluorophosphate anion. The coordination environment about the Ru^II atom is distorted octahedral, where the 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (terpy) ligand is coordinated in a meridional fashion, the 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (dpphen) ligand is coordinated in a cis fashion and the Cl atom is trans to one of the dpphen N atoms. The Ru-N bond distances are in the range 1.956  (5)-2.096  (5)  Å and the Ru-Cl distance is 2.403  (2)  Å.
