The mol­ecular structure of ruthenocenecarbo­nitrile, [Ru([eta]5-C5H4C[triple bond]N)([eta]5-C5H5)], exhibits point group symmetry m, with the mirror plane bis­ecting the mol­ecule through the C[triple bond]N substituent. The RuII atom is slightly shifted from the [eta]5-C5H4 centroid towards the C[triple bond]N substituent. In the crystal, mol­ecules are arranged in columns parallel to [100]. One-dimensional inter­molecular [pi]-[pi] inter­actions [3.363 (3) Å] between the C[triple bond]N carbon atom and one carbon of the cyclo­penta­dienyl ring of the overlaying mol­ecule are present.
