Redetermination of cis-diacetonitrilebis(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) hexafluorophosphate

F. Xu and W. Huang

Abstract: The title compound, [Ru(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂(CH₃CN)₂](PF₆)₂, a six-coordinate ruthenium(II) complex, crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group showing different symmetry from the previously reported P2₁/n. A crystallographic twofold rotation axis passes through the Ru atom. The two C atoms and H atoms of one acetonitrile ligand are disordered over two positions, with site occupancy factors of ca 0.55 and 0.45. Three F atoms are disordered over two positions, with similar site occupancy factors.
