Abstract: The title compound, [Ru(NCCH3)6](CH6B11Br6)2·CH3CN, consists of the 'naked' ruthenium(II) cation surrounded by six acetonitrile molecules, each coordinated via the nitrogen atoms in a linear or nearly-linear fashion in a typical octahedral over-all arrangement. The cation is balanced by the two hexa-bromocarborane cage anionic fragments [CB11H6Br6]. Weak C-HBr and B-HBr interactions link neighboring anions.
