Abstract: The crystal structures of the title compounds, [Ru(C₇H₉Si)₂(C₂₆H₂₄P₂)₂] and [Ru(C₄H)₂(C₂₆H₂₄P₂)₂], are described. The metal centre in both complexes has an octahedral coordination geometry, with mutually trans buta-1,3-diynyl ligands forming pseudo-linear ruthenium-centred polyyne chains.

Formula: [Ru(C₇H₉Si)₂(C₂₆H₂₄P₂)₂] and [Ru(C₄H)₂(C₂₆H₂₄P₂)₂]
