The title compound 1, [Ru(C5H5)(C6H12O)Cl(CO)], was synthesized from carbonyl-(5-cyclopentadienyl)(2-ethoxy)-1-Ruthenacyclopentene by treatment with HCl. Ru has a distorted tetrahedron geometry that is best described as a tri-legged piano stool. The cyclopentadienyl (cp) ring is asymmetrically bonded with Ru-C distances ranging from 2.188 (8) to 2.297 (7) Å.
