Abstract: The title compound, [Ru(C₂₁H₁₃Br₂N₃)₂](PF₆)₂·2CH₂CN, was synthesized to investigate its photophysical properties. The molecule and the crystal structure are both non-centrosymmetric. The Ru atom is in a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. Intermolecular interactions are dominated by -stacking interactions between aromatic rings, with centroid-centroid distances between 3.7 and 3.9 Å. No bromine-bromine interactions are observed.
