	abstract = {Two diruthenium(II) complexes [RuCl2(p-cymene)](2)(mu-BESE) (1), [RuCl2(p-cymene)](2)(mu-BESP) (2), and the mononuclear salt [RuCl(p-cymene)(BESE)]PF6 (3), containing the disulfoxides BESE and BESP, were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, and NMR and IR spectroscopies, and were shown to contain S-bound sulfoxide groups; the disulfoxides are EtS(O)(CH2)(n) S(O)Et, where n = 2 (BESE) or 3 (BESP). Complexes 1 and 3 were also characterized by X-ray crystallography. Preliminary in vitro tests of I and 3 were conducted using the MTT assay, which measures mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity as an indication of cell viability; these complexes showed in vitro anti-cancer activity against a human mammary cancer cell line (MDA-MB-435s) with IC50 values of 360 and 55 muM, respectively.

	abstract = {Removal of the MeOH and hydrogen from the known cis, trans, cis-Rh-111-dihydrido complexes [Rh(H)(2)(PR3)(2)(MeOH)(2)]PF6 (R= Ph, p-tolyl) results in formation of the dimeric species [Rh-2(PR3)(4)][PF6](2); X-ray analysis shows the complexes to be [(Ph3P)Rh(mu-PhPPh2)](2)(PF6](2) (and the p-tolyl analogue) containing bridged eta(6)-arene moieties, while H-1 and C-13 NMR data in CD2Cl2 provide evidence for Teta(4)-coordination of the arene within the dimer. In more strongly coordinating solvents, formation of cis-{Rh(PR3)(2)(solvent)(2)}PF6 is observed, while formation of [(PR3)(2)Rh(eta(6)-toluene)]PF6 is evident in toluene solution, and this exists in equilibrium with the bis(solvent) species in the presence, for example, of acetone or MeOH. At ambient conditions, none of the arene-containing complexes effected catalytic H-2-hydrogenation of toluene.},
