Sulfur insertion into group 12 metal dithiolate complexes: metal-dependent equilibria
Abstract
congeners formed multiple products corresponding to sulfur insertion at both thiolate moieties, with different equilibrium constants of insertion. These reactions were correlated to comparisons of metal thiolate nucleophilicity and electrochemical oxidation potentials of the dithiolate complexes. These results point to additional contributions from ring strain and other structural/steric effects in controlling the thermodynamics of sulfur insertion.
