M. Tada et Y. Masuzawa, BIOMIMETIC METHANE GENERATION AND DISULFIDE FORMATION BY CATALYSIS WITH A NICKEL-COMPLEX, Chemical communications, (22), 1997, pp. 2161-2162
The final metabolic process of methanogen, methane generation and simu
ltaneous disulfide formation, is simulated by the reaction of thioanis
ole with a toluenethiyl radical in the presence of a nickel complex, w
hich is generated by the photolysis of a toluenethiolato-nickel comple
