Abstract

The electrochemical oxidation of anodic copper or silver (= M) into non-aqueous solutions of RSH (R= alkyl, axyl) gives MISR as insoluble materials in high yield. In the presence of 1, 10- phenanthroline (= L), the products are MISRphen for M= Cu, but not Ag. Gold resists oxidation under such conditions, and AuISR (R= n-C4H9, C6H5) was obtained in only poor yield. The crystal structure of the solvated dimeric adduct [Cu (SC6H4CH3-o) phen] ...
