Synthesis of Zinc Dimethyldithiocarbamate by Reductive Disulfide Bond Cleavage of Tetramethylthiuram Disulfide in Presence of Zn2+

The zinc(II) complex [Zn2(dmdtc)2(μ-dmdtc)2] has been synthesized directly from thiram ligand, containing a disulfide bond {dmdtc = N,N-dimethyldithiocarbamate; thiram = N,N-tetramethylthiuram disulfide}, and characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopic methods. Surprisingly thiram, undergoes a reductive disulfide bond scission upon reaction with Zn2+ in methanolic media to give the [Z...

Tetranuclear uranium clusters by reductive cleavage of 3,5-dimethylpyrazolate.

Actinide metal centers are of fundamental interest as they have electronic structures that are distinct from those of transition metals and lanthanides. Indeed, the combination of increased spin–orbit coupling relative to transition metals and enhanced ligand field effects relative to lanthanides renders modeling the magnetic behavior of actinide-containing molecules particularly challenging. S...

Complete reductive cleavage of CO facilitated by highly electrophilic borocations.

The addition of CO to [((R3N)BH2)2(μ-H)][B(C6F5)4] leads to formation of trimethylboroxine ((MeBO)3) and [(R3N)2BH2][B(C6F5)4]. When R = Et, [(Et3N)H2B(μ-O)B(CH3)NEt3][B(C6F5)4], is isolated and demonstrated to be an intermediate in the formation of (MeBO)3.
