Spectroscopic techniques and density functional theory were used to elucidate the conversion of a zeolite‐supported ruthenium complex with one acetylacetonate (acac) and two ethene ligands into a supported ruthenium–benzene complex. The observed and calculated results showed good agreement as a consequence of the high degree of structural uniformity of the zeolite‐supported species, which is essentially molecular in character.
