Tetrathioethylene dications: endocyclic to exocyclic rearrangement
Abstract
Electrogenerated dications of 2,5,7,10-tetrathiabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-1(6)-ene (1) and 2,6,8,12-tetrathiabicyclo[5.5.0]dodec-1(7)-ene (2) undergo a novel endocyclic to exocyclic rearrangement in acetonitrile solutions at room temperature.
