We evidenced the conversion of an unprecedented intermolecular bridged-proton bimetallic P-metallated phosphoryl complex [{[Ru](Ph2P[double bond, length as m-dash]O)}2H][PF6]3 to its corresponding H-bonded water complex [{[Ru](Ph2P[double bond, length as m-dash]O)}2(H2O)][PF6]2, a rare motif. Their synthesis, NMR data, X-ray crystal structures, electrochemical and photophysical properties are reported.
