Structure of tris(2,2-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II) hexafluorophosphate, [Ru(bipy)3][PF6]2; X-ray crystallographic determination

D. Paul Rillema and Daniel S. Jones

Analysis of Ru–N bond lengths based on an X-ray crystallographic determination of the molecular structure of [Ru(bipy)3]2+ and on reactivity patterns of various [Ru(bipy)3]n+ species suggests that members of the series have similar structures; this similarity may be important in the development of new solar energy catalysts.
