An unusually clear demonstration of the ease of addition of two‐electron donor ligands to the title complex 1 is provided by the molecular structure shown on the right. Complex 1 is readily accessible from [{Cp * RuOMe} 2 ] and acetylacetone. The air‐sensitive, intensely red complex 1 adds CO and phosphane very rapidly and can be cleaved with cations such as Zn 2⊕ and Mg 2⊕ to give the very versatile Cp * Ru ⊕ fragment.
