Insertion of a metal-bound nitrogen atom into a disulfide (S-S) bond. Synthesis and characterisation of [(CoL2)-L-III]ClO4 [HL = di(2-pyridylthio)amine]
H. Nakayama et al., Insertion of a metal-bound nitrogen atom into a disulfide (S-S) bond. Synthesis and characterisation of [(CoL2)-L-III]ClO4 [HL = di(2-pyridylthio)amine], CHEM COMMUN, (8), 1999, pp. 695-696
Reaction of Cis-[Co-III(NH3)(4)(H2O)(2)](ClO4)(3) With 2,2'-dithiodipyridin
e (2,2'-DTDP) in nearly equimolar proportion generates [(CoL2)-L-III]ClO4 w
here HL(H = dissociable proton) is di(2-pyridylthio)amine, resulting in an
unprecedented insertion of a coordinated ammine N into the S-S bond of 2,2'
-DTDP.
