Abstract

The formation of thiyl radicals from [Cp*RuIII3SSS′-tpdt }] (1A) and [Cp*RuIII3SSN-apdt}] (1B) {Cp* = η5-C5Me5; tpdt = S(CH2CH2S-)2; apdt = HN(CH2CH2S-)2} has been initiated by thiolate alkylation or oxidation with iodine. Subsequent electron transfer processes yielded disulfide-bridged dinuclear complexes. The mechanistic pathways of these processes will be discussed.
