Λ-Tris(1,10-phenanthroline-N,N')ruthenium(II) Bis(hexafluorophosphate)–Acetonitrile–Diethyl Ether (1/1/0.5)

The title compound was obtained from a solution of the resolved compound as an acetonitrile 0.5 diethyl ether solvate, [Ru(C₁₂H₈N₂)₃](PF₆)₂.CH₃CN.0.5(CH₃CH₂)₂O. The cations possess idealized D₃ symmetry with three bidentate phenanthroline ligands arranged about each Ru^II center in a propeller-like fashion. Assignment of the appropriate polar space group corroborates the absolute configuration of the compound with chemical and circular dichroism data.
