Tris(2,2′-bipyridine)ruthenium bis(hexafluorophosphate)（Cat No.:L017492）is a coordination complex with the formula Ru(bpy)₃₂, where three 2,2′-bipyridine ligands chelate a central ruthenium(II) ion. The two hexafluorophosphate (PF₆⁻) counterions ensure charge neutrality and solubility in organic solvents. This complex is renowned for its strong photoluminescence, redox activity, and photostability, making it widely used in photochemistry, electrochemistry, solar energy conversion, and as a luminescent probe in biological imaging. Its metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) properties are critical in studies of electron transfer, dye-sensitized solar cells, and molecular electronics.
