The number of well-defined metal complexes containing terminal sulfido or disulfido ligands is rather limited [1, 2], their syntheses are seldom simple and the compounds may be highly unstable in solution. Although these features may have precluded reactivity studies, and thus further attempts to model HDS-related reactions, it is very likely that other examples will become available in the near future particularly welcome would be some advances in the reactions of hydrogen with e.g. Mo or Co complexes containing such sulfur ligands, as well as studies of the reactions of M(H)(SH) and M(SH)2 complexes with thiophenes and other related molecules. 

The dinuclear rhenium disulfido complex with n,rj -S2 ligands (ReCp )2(/U-S2)2 (Cp =7j -C5Me4Et) (type IIa2 complex in Fig. 2) undergoes an insertion reaction of acetylene and ethylene into the S-S bond according to Scheme 57.
