A highly nonplanar metallacyclic ring with a nucleophilic sulfur atom is contained in the binuclear complex 2 , which is formed by reduction of the benzothiophene complex 1 in the presence of additional ligands (L = CO, P(OMe) 3 , P(OEt) 3 ). This reaction, which proceeds by the insertion of manganese into the S‐C(aryl) bond, is of interest in the context of catalytic desulfurization of fossil fuels.
