Abstract: The hemerythrin-type dinuclear title complex, [Ru₂(CH₃COO)₂O(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂(C₅H₅N)₂](PF₆)₂, consists of two Ru^III ions with a six-coordinate octahedral geometry, bridged by an oxide and two acetate ligands, with a bidentate 2,2'-bipyridine ligand and a pyridine ligand bonding at terminal positions. The Ru-Ru distance and Ru-O-Ru angle are 3.2838 (3) Å and 121.79 (7)°, respectively, and the average Ru-N(pyridine) bond length is 2.164 (8) Å. Several C-HF, C-HO and C-HN interactions generate a three-dimensional network in the crystal structure. - stacking interactions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.6389 (3) Å] between inversion-related 2,2'-bipyridine rings are also observed.
