Abstract: The coordination of Ru in the title compound, [Ru(C₁₈H₁₂N₆)₂](PF₆)₂, is octahedral. The coordination sphere is formed by six N atoms from the tridentate sites of two ligands that are meridionally oriented around the Ru^II ion. The locations of the donor atoms deviate substantially from an ideal octahedron. The Ru-N distances are in the range 1.983 (4)-2.111 (4) Å. The Ru atom occupies a special position with twofold rotational symmetry. One of the P atoms occupies a special position with twofold rotational symmetry and the other P atom is located on a special position at a centre of symmetry.
