title: Bis(2,2'-bipyridine)(5-isothio-cyanato-1,10-phenanthroline)ruthenium(II) bis-(hexa-fluoridophosphate) acetonitrile solvate.
abstract: The title compound, [Ru(C(10)H(8)N(2))(2)(C(13)H(7)N(3)S)](PF(6))(2)·CH(3)CN, was synthesized by the reaction of thio-phosgene and bis-(2,2'-bipyridine)(1,10-phenanthrolin-5-amine)ruthenium(II) bis-(hexa-fluoridophosphate). The Ru(II) atom adopts a slightly distorted octa-hedral RuN(6) coordinaton formed by four N atoms of two bipyridine ligands and by two N atoms of the 1,10-phenantroline ligand. The isothio-cyanate group is almost linear, with an N-C-S angle of 174.4 (6)°. Two of the three hexa-fluoridophosphate counter-anions are located on inversion centres.
