Description

Tris(2,2′-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) Bis(hexafluorophosphate) (CAS No. 60804-74-2) is a high-purity organometallic compound with the molecular formula C₃₀H₂₄F₁₂N₆P₂Ru. This reddish-orange crystalline complex is widely utilized in photochemistry, electrochemistry, and catalysis due to its exceptional photophysical properties, including strong visible light absorption and long-lived excited states. The compound features a ruthenium(II) center coordinated to three 2,2′-bipyridine ligands, balanced by two hexafluorophosphate counterions for enhanced solubility in organic solvents. Our product is rigorously tested for purity (>98%) and is supplied in amber glass vials under inert atmosphere to ensure stability. Ideal for research in solar energy conversion, OLED development, and as a reference standard in spectroscopic studies.
