title: Chain mechanism for exchange of D2 with a ruthenium hydride.
abstract: The ruthenium hydride of (Ar(4)CpOH)Ru(CO)(2)H exchanges cleanly and rapidly with D(2) at room temperature to generate the ruthenium deuteride. A chain mechanism is proposed to explain the much more rapid exchange of RuH/D(2) than RuCO exchange with (13)CO.
