In aqueous acid in the presence of Tl3+ ions the N-aryl S-aryl dithiou
rethanes (dithiocarbamates) 2 and 3 rapidly form complexes of 1:1 dith
iourethane:Tl3+ stoichiometry which decompose to the corresponding iso
thiocyanates; this elimination is accelerated by an excess of Tl3+ ion
s in a process first order in Tl3+! with DELTAS(double dagger) almost
-equal-to -100 J K-1 mol-1 and in which compound 3 is ca. three-fold m
ore reactive than 2.
