%X The complex [ Ru (NH3)3( acac )(OH2)]2+ was obtained by the reaction of [ Ru (NH3)3(H2O)3][CF3SO3]3 with pentane-2,4-dione. The crystals are orthorhombic, space group P212121, with a 7.805(4), b 12.997(4), c 17.479(13) &#506;, U 1773.1 &#506;3 with Z 4. The structure was refined by a full-matrix least-squares method on 827 reflections [for which I &#8805; 2.5&#963;(I)] to final R 0.042 and Rw 0.043. The structure analysis reveals an almost perfect octahedral coordination around the ruthenium atom with the three ammine ligands attached in a facial arrangement. Spectroscopic and electrochemical studies are consistent with the same species being present in dilute solution.
