	abstract = {Thiolate ligand oxygenation is believed to activate cytotoxic half-sandwich [(eta(6)-arene)Ru(en)(SR)](+) complexes toward DNA binding. We have made detailed comparisons of the nature of the Ru-S bond in the parent thiolato complexes and mono- (sulfenato) and bis- (sulfinato) oxygenated species including the influence of substituents on the sulfur and arene. Sulfur K-edge XAS indicates that S(3p) donation into the Ru(4d) manifold depends strongly on the oxidation state of the sulfur atom, whereas Ru K-edge data suggest little change at the metal center. DFT results are in agreement with the experimental data and allow a more detailed analysis of the electronic contributions to the Ru-S bond. Overall, the total ligand charge donation to the metal center remains essentially unchanged upon ligand oxygenation, but the origin of the donation differs markedly. In sulfenato complexes, the terminal oxo group makes a large contribution to charge donation and even small electronic changes in the thiolato complexes are amplified upon ligand oxygenation, an observation which carries direct implications for the biological activity of this family of complexes. Details of Ru-S bonding in the mono-oxygenated complexes suggest that these should be most susceptible to ligand exchange, yet only if protonation of the terminal oxo group can occur. The potential consequences of these results for biological activation are discussed.},

	abstract = {Oxidative addition of the tridentate N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) diphosphine ligand precursor ([PCP]H)PF6 (1) {[PCP] = o-(Pr2PC6H4)-Pr-i(NC3H4N)o-(C6H4PPr2)-Pr-i} to Ni(COD)(2) results in the formation of the nickel(II) hydride complex ([PCP]NiH)PF6 (2). This hydride undergoes a rapid reaction with ethylene to generate a nickel(O) complex in which an ethyl group has been transferred to the carbene carbon of the original NHC-diphosphine ligand. If the first intermediate is the anticipated square-planar nickel(II) ethyl species, then the formation of the product would require a process that involves a trans C-C coupling of the NHC carbon and a presumed Ni-ethyl intermediate. Deuterium-labeling studies provide evidence for migratory insertion of the added ethylene into the Ni-H bond rather than into the Ni-catene linkage; this is based on the observed deuterium scrambling, which requires reversible P-elimination, alkene rotation, and hydride readdition. However, density functional theory studies suggest that a key intermediate is an agostic ethyl species that has the Ni-C bond cis to the NHC unit. A possible transition state containing two cis-disposed carbon moieties was also identified. Such a process represents a new pathway for catalyst deactivation involving NHC-based metal complexes.},

Controlled bulk coulometric reduction of 50\% of the content of a CH2Cl2 solution of 1 also produces 2, formed by the reaction of 1 with "RuCl2(dppb)" produced in situ during the electrolysis. Complexes 1 and 2 were characterized by spectroscopic techniques [including electron spin resonance (ESR)], magnetic moments and cyclic voltammetry, and the structure of 1 was determined by X-ray diffraction. The structure shows that the aquo ligand forms hydrogen bonds with two cis-chlorine ligands of the neighboring molecule of the complex; this interaction gives rise to exchange coupling between two Ru(III) centers that is reflected in the ESR spectrum. A species 3 analogous to 1 has been obtained with the diop ligand [diop = (2R,3R)- or (2S,3S)-O-isopropylidene-2,3-dihydroxy-1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane] , on using RuCl2(diop)(PPh3) or [RuCl(diop)](2)(mu-Cl)(3) as precursors.

	abstract = {Kinetic studies on the H-2-hydrogenation of styrene catalyzed by [RuCl(dppb)(mu-Cl)](2) (dppb = Ph(2)P(CH2)(4)PPh(2)) in N,N-dimethylacetamide solution, near ambient conditions have revealed a first-order dependence on Ru, and dependences on H-2 and on styrene that are first-order at lower concentrations and decrease with increasing concentration. Considered along with NMR and tensiometric data, the findings are interpreted in terms of a basic hydride route in which an initially formed, dinuclear, molecular hydrogen complex (eta(2)-H-2)Ru(dppb)(mu-Cl)(3)RuCl(dppb) transfers both hydrogens to the styrene.},
