18. -3. Atoms Ru1, C1, and O1 exhibited 80:20 disorder with their primed labeled counterparts. The hydride ligand, H1, was located and refined at 1.6 Å from the metal centers. No attempt was made to locate the second hydride in this complex, due to the disorder present in the model.

20. -3. In the final least-squares cycles, atoms H1, H5A, H6A, and H6B were located and refined at fixed distances of 1.6 Å (H1-Ru1) and 0.89 Å (H - C) for the subsequent pairs, from the relevant parent atoms.
