The structures of [Ru(bpy)[sub 3]](PF[sub 6])[sub 2] (bpy = 2,2[prime]-bipyridine) and [Ru(bpm)[sub 3]](PF[sub 6])[sub 2][center dot]CH[sub 3]CN (bpm = 2,2[prime]-bipyrimidine) have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. [Ru(bpy)[sub 3]](PF[sub 6])[sub 2] crystallized in the hexagonal space group. [Ru(bpm)[sub 3]](PF[sub 6])[sub 2][center dot]CH[sub 3]CN crystallized in the triclinic space group. Ru-N bond distances in [Ru(bpy)[sub 3]][sup 2+] were 2.056 (2) [angstrom] and average 2.067 (4) [angstrom] in [Ru(bpm)[sub 3]][sup 2+]. Other bond distances and angles lead to the conclusion that the structures of the [Ru(bpy)[sub 3]][sup 2+] and [Ru(bpm)[sub 3]][sup 2+] cations are basically the same.
