[(DMSO){sub 2}{sub 2}H][trans-RuCl{sub 4}(DMSO){sub 2}] (1) and mer,trans-RuCl{sub 3}(DMSO){sub 2}(DMSO) (2) (DMSO = S-bonded dimethyl sulfoxide; DMSO = O-bonded dimethyl sulfoxide; DMSO = O bonded dimethyl sulfoxide) react with carbon monoxide at room temperature and atmospheric pressure to give [(DMSO){sub 2}H][trans-RuCl{sub 4}(DMSO)(CO)] (3) and mer,cis-RuCl{sub 3}(DMSO){sub 2-} (CO) (4), respectively. Coordination of carbon monoxide induces the S to O linkage iosmerization of the DMSO ligand trans to it. Compounds 3 and 4 represent the first example of Ru-(III) chloride-DMSO-carbonyl complexes. In both 3 and 4 the DMSO ligand trans to CO is weakly bonded and easily replaced by a nitrogen donor ligand.
