Bis(di‐2‐pyridyl sulfide‐κ2N,N′)(4‐methylpyrimidin‐2‐yl 2‐pyridylmethyl sulfide‐κ2N,S)ruthenium(II) bis(hexafluorophosphate) acetonitrile solvate

The crystal structure of the title compound, Ru(C₁₀H₈N₂S)₂(C₁₁H₁₁N₃S)](PF₆)₂·C₂H₃N, is composed of a bivalent octa­hedral Ru^II complex, two PF₆^? anions and an acetonitrile solvent mol­ecule. Two PF₆^? units are found on a crystallographic binary axis, therefore contributing just one half each to the asymmetric unit cell. The structure displays a peculiar stereochemistry of the cation. Three bidentate ligands around the Ru centre, together with the coordination of the non‐symmetric S atom, mean that these two atoms are chiral. This would lead to four stereoisomers, but only an enantiomeric pair was found in the analyzed sample.
