Convenient preparative routes to mononuclear ruthenium complexes containing the 2,4-pentadiynylnitrile, or cyanobutadiynyl, ligand are described. The electronic properties of the [C₅N]⁻ ligand are closely related to those of not only the cyanide ([CN]⁻) and 2-propynylnitrile or cyanoacetylide ([C [triple bond, length as m-dash] CCN]⁻) ligands, but also those of the isoelectronic polyynyl ([{CC}_nR]⁻) ligands.
