%X [Ru ( bpy )3] (ClO4)2 ( bpy = 2,2&#8242;-bipyridine) crystallizes from aqueous solution in an anhydrous form as deep red tablets. A single-crystal X-ray study at 293(2) K has shown the material to be monoclinic, space group C 2/c, a 17.633(4), b 10.761(2), c 15.924(4) &#506;, &#946; 90.77(2)&#176;, V 3021(1) &#506;3, Z 4; R was 0.034 for 2405 'observed' [I > 3&#963;(I)] reflections. The [ Ru ( bpy )3]2+ cation in the perchlorate salt shows very closely similar bond length [ Ru -N, 2.056(3)- 2.060(3)&#506;], angle and torsion characteristics to those of the known hexafluorophosphate salt, though the two salts are not isomorphous.
