H. Kunkely et A. Vogler, Optical outer-sphere charge transfer in aqueous ion pairs with sulfidic anions as donors, INORG CHIM, 310(2), 2000, pp. 279-281
Various sulfidic anions and the oxidizing cations [Ru(NH3)(6)](3+) and N,N'
-dimethyl-4,4'-bipyridinium(2 +) (paraquat(2+)) form ion pairs in aqueous s
olutions which display outer-sphere charge-transfer (CT) absorptions. The C
T energies are used to establish a series of sulfidic anions with increasin
g CT donor strength: SCN- <S2O32- < SbS43- < PO3S3- < C(OEt)S-2(-) <P(OEt)(
