title: Novel double insertion of carbon disulfide into two Ru-H bonds of [(dppm)(2)Ru(H)(2)] (dppm = Ph(2)PCH(2)PPh(2)): synthesis and crystal structure of a methanedithiolate complex.
abstract: Addition of excess carbon disulfide to cis/trans-[(dppm)(2)Ru(H)(2)] results in the methanedithiolate complex [(dppm)(2)Ru(eta(2)-S(2)CH(2))] 4 via the intermediacy of cis-[(dppm)(2)Ru(H)(SC(S)H)] 2. The X-ray crystal structure of this species has been determined.
