Abstract An X-ray diffraction study of [(η5-C5Me5)Ru(CO)(μ-CO)]2 was performed, revealing its dimeric structure and centrosymmetrictrans conformation. The Ru-Ru bond length (2.758(1) Å) and the separation between the Ru atom and the plane of the η5-C5Me5 ligand (1.923 Å) are greater than those in the Cp analog and in the isostructural Cp and C5Me5 complexes of iron; this effect is due to the s inductive effect of the Me groups.
