Treatment of [Cp*RuCl2]x (Cp* = η5-C5Me5) with K[N(Ph2PS) 2] afforded [Cp*Ru{N(Ph2PS)2}Cl] (1). Reduction of 1 with Li[BEt3H] gave the 16-electron half-sandwich Ru(II) complex [Cp*Ru{N(Ph2PS)2}] (2). Complexes 1 and 2 have been characterized by X-ray crystallography. The Ru- Cp*(centroid) and average Ru-S distances in 1 are 1.827 and 2.3833(5) A?, respectively. The corresponding bond distances in 2 are 1.739 and 2.379(1) A?. Treatment of 2 with 2-electron ligands L afforded the adducts [Cp*Ru{N(Ph2PS)2}L] (L = CO (3), 2,6-Me 2C6H4NC (4), MeCO2C≡CCO 2Me (5)). Oxidation of 2 with tetramethylthiuram disulfide gave the Ru(IV) complex [Cp*Ru{S2CNMe2}2] [N(Ph2PS)2] (6). The Ru-Cp*(centroid) and average Ru-S distances in 6 are 1.897 and 2.387(1) A?, respectively.
