Bis(2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline-κ(2) N,N′)(10,11,12,13-tetra­hydro­dipyrido[3,2-a:2′,3′-c]phenazine-κ(2) N (4),N (5))ruthenium(II) bis­(perchlorate) dihydrate

The title compound, [Ru(C(14)H(12)N(2))(2)(C(18)H(14)N(4))](ClO(4))(2)·2H(2)O, consists of an Ru(II) complex cation, two perchlorate anions and two uncoordinated water mol­ecules. The Ru(II) ion is chelated by a 10,11,12,13-tetra­hydro­dipyrido[3,2-a:2′,3′-c]phenazine ligand and two 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline ligands in a distorted octa­hedral geometry. The two uncoord­inated water mol­ecules are disordered over five positions, with an occupancy factor of about 0.4 for each site. A supra­molecular structure is formed by weak π–π inter­actions between neighbouring mol­ecules, with centroid–centroid distances of 3.618 (2) and 3.749 (2) Å.
