A photoactivatable ruthenium(II) carbonyl complex mer,cis-[Ru(II)Cl(BisQ)(CO)2]PF62 was prepared using a tridentate bisquinoline ligand (BisQ=(2,6-diquinolin-2-yl)pyridin). Compound 2 was thoroughly characterized by standard analytical methods and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure of the complex cation reveals a distorted octahedral geometry.
