	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 = {The reversible equilibrium conversion under H-2 of [RuCl(dppb) (mu-Cl)](2) (1) to generate (eta(2)-H-2) (dppb) (mu-Cl)(3)RUCl( dppb) in CH2Cl2 (dppb = Ph(2)P(CH2)(4)PPh(2)) has been studied at 0-25 degrees C by UV-Vis and (31)p{H-1} NMR spectroscopy, and by stopped-how kinetics; the equilibrium constant and corresponding thermodynamic parameters, and the forward and reverse rate constants at 25 degrees C have been determined. A measured Delta H degrees value of similar to 0 kj mol(-1) allows for an estimation of an exothermicity of similar to 60 kj mol(-1) for binding an eta(2)-H-2 at an Ru(II) centre; a Delta S degrees value of similar to 60 J mol(-1) K-1 indicates that in solution 1 contains coordinated CH2Cl2. The kinetic and thermodynamic data are compared to those obtained from a previously studied hydrogenation of styrene catalyzed by 1. Preliminary findings on related systems containing Ph(2)P(CH2)(3)PPh(2) and (C6H11)(2)P(CH2)(4)P(C6H11)(2) are also noted.},
