The invention relates to a saw horse carbonyl ruthenium compound which is a carboxylic acid group and an axial 2 electronic ligand through connecting a bridging on a double-ruthenium tetracarbonyl saw horse skeleton structure, the bridged carboxylic acid group is coordinated with metal ruthenium through O, the bond strength of Ru-Co is improved by utilizing center metal Ru (I) with low price, the saw horse carbonyl ruthenium compound has good stability under physiological conditions and is beneficial to target release, CO release is controllable, and the water solubility of molecular and the CO release speed can be improved by changing bridging carboxylic acid group R1CO2 and the axial 2 electronic ligand, so that the saw horse carbonyl ruthenium compound can be functionalized efficiently and is easy to derive. The synthetic process is simpler and easy to obtain, and an efficient functionalization method for saw horse carbonyl ruthenium is provided.
