Abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Ru(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂(C₁₆H₈N₂)](PF₆)₂·2Et₂O or [Ru(bipy)₂(dephen)](PF₆)₂·2Et₂O, where bipy is 2,2'-bipyridine and dephen is 3,8-diethynyl-1,10-phenanthroline, contains a monomeric [Ru(bipy)₂(dephen)] cation, two hexafluorophosphate anions, and two molecules of diethyl ether. The ruthenium(II) ion is in a distorted octahedral environment, coordinated by two bipy and one dephen ligands. Weak intermolecular C-HF hydrogen bonds are observed in the crystal structure.
