Abstract
Reaction of the square pyramidal cluster Ru5C(CO)(15) with H2S affords the bridged butterfly species (mu-H)Ru5C(CO)(14)(mu-SH) in which H and SH coord inate with simultaneous cleavage of one Ru-Ru bond and displacement of one CO. Subsequent reaction with CO regenerates the starting cluster and elimin ates elemental sulfur (S-8) and dihydrogen. These reactions take place at a mbient temperatures and pressures.
