	abstract = {Oxidative addition of H2S to MoRu(CO)(6)(mu-dppm)(2) (1) at similar to 20 degrees C in toluene yields an isolable complex formulated as Mo(CO)(3)(mu-SH)(mu-CO)(mu-dppm)(2)RuH(CO) (2) via the possible intermediate Mo(CO)(3)(mu-H)(mu-CO)(mu-dppm)(2)Ru(SH)(CO) (4) (dppm = Ph2PCH2PPh2) that is detectable at lower temperatures. Over 2 days, species 2 in toluene loses H-2 (and CO) to yield the bridged-sulfide product, Mo(CO)(2)(mu-CO)(mu-S)(mu-dppm)(2)Ru(CO) (5) that is also formed directly from the reaction of 1 with elemental sulfur. The solid-state molecular structure of 5 is determined by X-ray crystallography. A further hydrido-sulfhydryl species, possibly Mo(CO)(3)(mu-SH)(mu-H)(mu-dppm)(2)Ru(CO)(2) (3), is in equilibrium with 2 at ambient temperature.},

	abstract = {The preparation of dipalladium complexes containing sterically nondemanding diphosphine (P-P) ligands of the type R2PCH2PR2 where R = Me (dmpm) or Et (depm) is reported. Variable-temperature H-1 NMR spectra of the Pd-2(1) complexes Pd2X2(dMPM)(2) (X = Cl, Br, or I; the P-P ligands in the Pd-2 complexes are always bridged, but for convenience, the mu-symbol is omitted) show the complexes to be fluxional in solution, the barriers to a ring-flipping process being DeltaGdouble dagger = 37.9, 39.0, and 43.2 +/- 0.9 kJ mol(-1) for the chloro, bromo, and iodo complexes, respectively. Treatment of Pd2X2(P-P)(2) (X = Cl or Br) with X-2 generates the stable, face-to-face Pd-2(II) derivatives trans-Pd2X4(P-P)(2), while oxidation of Pd2I2(P-P)(2) complexes with I-2 generates a new type of symmetrically di-iodo-bridged, five-coordinate complexes Pd2I2(mu-I)(2)(dmpm)(2) and Pd2I2(mu-I)(2)(depm)(2). The molecular crystal structures of four dipalladium(II) complexes are described: trans-Pd2Cl4(dmpm)(2).2CHCl(3), trans-Pd2Br4(dmpm)(2), trans-Pd2Cl4(depm)(2), and Pd2I2(mu-I)(2)(dmpm)(2). Solution NMR and UV-vis absorption spectra are consistent with the solid-state structures determined by X-ray diffraction. The stability of the dimeric Pd(II) complexes is attributed primarily to ligand steric factors.},

	abstract = {An X-ray diffraction study on syn-Pd2Cl2(dppmMe)(2), syn-1, shows an unusual boat-like conformation of the eight-membered Pd2P4C2 ring. This conformation, containing equatorial Me groups, facilitates access of the Pd-Pd bond to small molecules such as CO, SO2, and elemental sulfur or selenium, and makes the syn isomer more reactive than anti-1. A comparison of bond angles around the Pd and P atoms in the syn- and anti-isomers reveals a more strained geometry of the former, which may also contribute to the stronger propensity of syn-1 to form A-frame adducts. Solution NMR/NOE studies on syn- and anti-1 and their (mu-Se) adducts reveal the structural rigidity of these complexes; the Me groups inhibit the interchange of axial and equatorial positions on the bridging methine C-atom, and solution structures correspond to those in the solid state. The X-ray structure of Pd2Cl2(dppm)(2) is, as expected, like that of the corresponding bromo, complex; both are analogous to that of anti-1 which adopts a chair conformation within both the fused, five-membered rings.
