The rates of reaction of bis(dithiooxalato-S,S')cuprate(II), 2-, with Cu(II) and Fe(III) have been measured and the corresponding rate constants and activation parameters are reported.In addition, the electrochemistry of this complex and of the oxidation product - was studied in detail.The - anion undergoes a light-activated, intramolecular, Dto -> Cu two-electron transfer with cleavage of the C-C bond in the Dto ligand and generation of gaseous SCO.Addition of triphenylphosphine to - in the presence or absence of light also results in intramolecular redox and cleavage of the C-C bond.
