Abstract
Extremely rapid oxygen transfer from sulfoxides to a carbonyl ligand to give the corresponding thioether and coordinated CO2 is observed in the reactions of unsupported Zr–Ru heterodimetallic complexes with sulfoxides; this is interpreted to arise from the cooperative reactivity of the two complementary metal complex fragments bound to each other through a highly polar metal–metal bond.Keywords
