Abstract
The Ru atom of the title compound, [Ru(C16H12N2O2)(2)(C10H8N2)](PF6)(2), is octahedrally coordinated to the N atoms of 2-(2-pyridyl)-4-methoxycarbonyl quinoline and to those of a bipyridine ligand which are cis to each other. Owing to the rigidity of the 2-(2-pyridyl)-4-methoxycarbonylquinoline ligan d, the complex is a distorted octahedron with Ru-N distances of 2.119 (2), 2.062 (2) and 2.043 (2) Angstrom. Half a complex cation and one hexafluorop hosphate counter-ion form the asymmetric unit. The complex cation lies on a twofold axis running along the line joining the Ru atom and the midpoint o f the C17-C17(-x, y, 1/2-z) bond.
