Organodisulfide radical cations R2S2′⊕ and R2C2S2 ′⊕ can be generated from aliphatic as well as aromatic cyclic polysulfides in AlCl3/H2CCl2 solutions and characterized by their ESR spectra. Examples presented are the oxidations of 1,2,3-trithiolanes to 1.2-dithiolane radical cations, in which energetically favored planarized 3 electron/2 center bonds are formed.
Di(methylthio)acetylene H3CS-C≡C-SCH3 reacts with S2C12 in AlCl3/H2CCl2 solution to the tetra(thiomethyl)thiophene radical cation (H3CS)4C4S·⊕ and with H3CSCl to the tetra(thiomethyl)ethene radical cation (H3CS)2C·=⊕C(SCH3)3. Their ESR spectra are assigned by comparison with literature data or those of analogous products obtained from other acetylene derivatives R-C≡C-R with R = SCH2CH3, CH3, C6H5 as well as based on HMO arguments. The possible course of the oxidative sulfuration is discussed.
