title: [2,6-Bis(5-chloro-pyrimidin-2-yl-κN)pyri-dine-κN](2,2':6',2''-terpyridine-κN,N',N'')ruthenium(II) bis-(hexa-fluoridophosphate) acetonitrile disolvate.
abstract: In the title compound, [Ru(C(13)H(7)Cl(2)N(5))(C(15)H(11)N(3))](PF(6))(2)·2CH(3)CN, the Ru(II) atom is coordinated in a distorted octa-hedral geometry by a tridentate 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine ligand and a tridentate 2,6-bis-(5-chloro-pyrimidin-2-yl)pyridine ligand. Least-squares mean-plane distortions of only 1.72 (2) and 2.91 (2)° of the pyrimidyl rings with respect to the central pyridine are observed for the bis-(pyrimid-yl)pyridine-based tridentate ligand, while the distal pyridyl rings of terpyridine twist by 13.43 (7) and 4.68 (9)° away from the central pyridine ring.
