title: trans-diaquabis(2,2'-bipyridine-N,N')-ruthenium(II) bis(hexafluorophosphate).
abstract: The Ru atom of the title complex, [Ru(C10H8N2)2-(H2O)2](PF6)2, is located on a crystallographic inversion center; the bipyridine ligands are bowed [dihedral angle between C5N planes is 162.68 (12) degrees] due to the interligand steric interactions of the trans bipyridyl units. The Ru--O distance is 2.116 (2) A and the mean Ru--N distance is 2.074 (2) A.
