In the title compound, [CoRu(C17H14P)2ClH(C18H15P)(CO)]PF6·2CH2Cl2, the RuII atom is coordinated by three P atoms from a chelating 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)cobaltocenium ligand and a triphenylphosphine ligand, one CO ligand, one Cl atom and one H atom in a distorted octahedral geometry. In the cobaltocenium unit, the two cyclopentadienyl rings are almost parallel, making a dihedral angle of 1.2 (3)°. The F atoms of the hexafluoridophosphate anion are disordered over two sets of sites, with an occupancy ratio of 0.849 (11):0.151 (11). Intramolecular C—H...Cl hydrogen bonds occur in the complex cation. The complex cations, hexafluoridophosphate anions and dichloromethane solvent molecules are linked by intermolecular C—H...F hydrogen bonds.
