Nickel mediated sulfur–selenium and sulfur–sulfur bond formation

Chia-Huei Lai, Joseph H. Reibenspies and Marcetta Y. Darensbourg

Electrophilic addition of the PhSeCl to a nickel dithiolate yields S,S-bis(phenylselenenyl-N,N-bis(mercaptoethyl)-1,5-diazacyclooctane nickel(II) dichloride and a dimeric, intermolecular bis-disulfide which results from ligand oxidation.
