AB  - Since the recognition of metal-hydroxycarbonyl (or, metallacarboxylic acid) as a 
      key intermediate in water gas shift (WGS) catalysis, numerous metal complexes 
      incorporating hydroxycarbonyl ligands have been synthesized. In this Perspective, 
      a brief account on the chemistry of metallacarboxylic acid and metallacarboxylate 
      is presented. Special emphasis is placed on the hydroxycarbonyl-bridged dinuclear 
      compounds. The relevance of hydroxycarbonyl complexes in the base-assisted 
      reduction of ruthenium carbonyls is investigated. In particular, Lavigne's 
      synthesis of Roper's catalyst Ru(CO)(2)(PPh(3))(3), triruthenium dodecacarbonyl 
      Ru(3)(CO)(12), and Bera's mechanistic investigation on the preparation of the 
      metal-metal singly bonded diruthenim(I) complex [Ru(2)(CO)(4)(CH(3)CN)(6)](2+) 
      are described in detail. These reactions involve the decarboxylation of a 
      "[Ru(m)(COOH)(n)]" species, followed by the reductive elimination of HX (X = H, 
      Cl or OH), steps akin to WGS catalysis. The prospect of hydroxycarbonyl chemistry 
      in the development of bimetallic catalysis is examined.
