An X-ray structural analysis of ruthenium carbonyl, Ru3(CO)12, has been completed using 936 independent reflexions in a least-squares refinement (R= 0·079). The molecule has essentially D3h symmetry with a mean Ru–Ru bond length of 2·848 Å. The crystal structure is very similar to that of Os3(CO)12.
