title: Crystal structure of ruthenocenecarbo-nitrile.
abstract: The mol-ecular structure of ruthenocenecarbo-nitrile, [Ru(η(5)-C5H4C N)(η(5)-C5H5)], exhibits point group symmetry m, with the mirror plane bis-ecting the mol-ecule through the C N substituent. The Ru(II) atom is slightly shifted from the η(5)-C5H4 centroid towards the C N substituent. In the crystal, mol-ecules are arranged in columns parallel to [100]. One-dimensional inter-molecular π-π inter-actions [3.363 (3) Å] between the C N carbon atom and one carbon of the cyclo-penta-dienyl ring of the overlaying mol-ecule are present.
