Elimination of sulfur from aromatic heterocycles by a water-soluble arene ruthenium cluster: synthesis and molecular structure of [H2S2Ru4(C6H6)4]Cl2

Abstract

C–S bond cleavage in thiophene, benzothiophene and dibenzothiophene is achieved under biphasic conditions by the water-soluble cluster cation [H4Ru4(C6H6)4]2+ which is converted into the disulfido cluster [H2S2Ru4(C6H6)4]2+.
