metal-organic compounds
In the title compound, [Ru2(C10H8N2)2(C15H11N3)(NH3)5](PF6)4.CH3CN, the bridging Ru—N bond length in the Ru(2,2′-bipyridine)(2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine)(4,4′-bipyridine) moiety is 2.112 (7) Å, whereas that in the Ru(NH3)5(4,4′-bipyridine) moiety is 2.052 (7) Å. The difference arises from the fact that the [RuII(NH3)5]2+ group a stronger π-donor than the [RuII(2,2′-bipyridine)(2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine)]2+ moiety.
