Bis(2-phenyl-4,6-di-2-pyridyl-1,3,5-triazine-?N,N,N)ruthenium(II) bis(hexa-fluoridophosphate).

ABSTRACT: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Ru(C(19)H(13)N(5))(2)](PF(6))(2), consists of an Ru(II) complex cation and two hexa-fluoridophosphate anions. The Ru(II) atom is coordinated by three N atoms from the two outer pyridine and the central triazine rings of each of two tridentate ligands in a distorted octa-hedral environment. The ligands are approximately orthogonal to one another, with a dihedral angle of 88.34?(2)° between planes through the three six-membered rings of the two ligands. The pendant phenyl substituents are almost coplanar with the triazine rings to which they are bound, with dihedral angles of 5.41?(9) and 14.90?(10)°. This is reflected in the previously reported photophysical results with an increased lifetime of the triplet metal to ligand charge transfer ((3)MLCT) excited state [Fang, Taylor, Hanan, Loiseau, Passalacqua, Campagna, Nierengarten & Van Dorsselaer (2002). J. Am. Chem. Soc.124, 7912-7913].
