Description
Summary:The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Ru(C12H12N2)2(C18H14N4)]2(ClO4)4·2CH3CN·H2O, contains two RuII complex cations, four perchlorate counter-anions, two uncoordinated acetonitrile molecules and one water molecule. The RuII ions are chelated by one 10,11,12,13-tetrahydrodipyrido[3,2-a:2′,3′-c]phenazine (dpqc) and two 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine (dmb) ligands in a distorted octahedral geometry. The uncoordinated water molecule is disordered over three positions, with occupancy factors of 0.398 (9), 0.312 (8) and 0.290 (8). A supramolecular structure is formed by weak π–π interactions between neighbouring molecules, with face-to-face distances of 3.51 (1) Å [centroid–centroid distance 3.81 (1) Å].
