title: Substituent dependence of the reactions of [RuCl2(PPh3)3] with bulky aromatic thiols.
abstract: 2,4,6-trialkylbenzenethiols react with [RuCl2(PPh3)3] to give Ru products with the alkyl substituents forming M-C sigma bonds, carbene, carbene with a S alpha-heteroatom, agostic hydrogen interaction or a simple tetrahedral Ru(II) species, depending on the substituent.
