Oxygenation of sulfur in ruthenium-dithiolene complex took place in CH3OH/H2O in the air and the novel diruthenium disulfinate complex formed. The similar oxygenation by use of O-18(2) and H-2 O-18 revealed that four of the eight oxygen of disulfinate complex resulted from O-2 and the remaining four came from H2O.
