Abstract: The title compound, [Ru(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂(C₁₃H₇N₃S)](PF₆)₂·CH₃CN, was synthesized by the reaction of thiophosgene and bis(2,2'-bipyridine)(1,10-phenanthrolin-5-amine)ruthenium(II) bis(hexafluoridophosphate). The Ru^II atom adopts a slightly distorted octahedral RuN₆ coordinaton formed by four N atoms of two bipyridine ligands and by two N atoms of the 1,10-phenantroline ligand. The isothiocyanate group is almost linear, with an N-C-S angle of 174.4 (6)°. Two of the three hexafluoridophosphate counter-anions are located on inversion centres.
