The electrochemical oxidation of anodic copper in an acetonitrile solution of RSH (R = Ph, C10H7, CPh3, C6F4H, o-MeC6H4, CMe2Et) yields CuSR; treatment of CuSCMe2Et with CS2 produces Cu8(SR)4(S2CSR)4, whose structure is based on an unusual Cu8S12 cage.

The electrochemical oxidation of anodic copper or silver (= M) into non-aqueous solutions of RSH (R = alkyl, axyl) gives MISR as insoluble materials in high yield.In the presence of 1,10-phenanthroline (= L), the products are MISR*phen for M = Cu, but not Ag.Gold resists oxidation under such conditions, and AuISR (R = n-C4H9, C6H5) was obtained in only poor yield.The crystal structure of the solvated dimeric adduct 2*CH3CN is triclinic, with a = 10.682(3) Angstroem, b = 11.729(4) Angstroem, c = 15.608(5) Angstroem, α = 76.87(2) deg, β = 76.35(2) deg, γ = 68.07(2) deg, V = 1742(1) Angstroem3, Z = 2 and space group P1.The structure is based on a folded Cu2S2 ring with an unusually short Cu-Cu distance of 2.613(3) Angstroem.Each copper atom has CuS2N2 pseudo-tetrahedral stereochemistry, with Cu-S = 2.337 Angstroem (av) and Cu-N = 2.10 Angstroem (av).
