Abstract
A number of otherwise unstable organic sulfur compounds such as thioal dehydes, sulfines, and sulfenes, can be produced and stabilized in the coordination sphere of pseudotetrahedral half-sandwich type complexes of ruthenium and rhenium. These complexes can then be used for differ ent types of stereoselective addition reactions. Similarly [CpRu(S,S-c hiraphos)](+) can be used as a chiral auxiliary in the enantioselectiv e oxidation of thioethers. Facile demetalation reactions are also avai lable to liberate the organic product from the complex.
