The crystal and molecular structures of the title compound, the first for a complex of the type [RuCp*(η 6 ‐C 8 ‐ring)] + , is presented, the material being obtained serendipitously from a reaction between RuCl(cod)Cp* and 1‐ferrocenylbuta‐1,3‐diyne in the presence of ZnCl 2 . (2.21 Å) is appreciably longer than in RuCp* 2 (2.18 Å) and similar to the value for the Ru‐η 6 component (2.22 Å).
