Delighted to share our new paper in ZAAC! 🎉 We isolated a series of yldiide carbon disulfide complexes and studied their their structures as well as thermal and photochemical stability. Great work by first author @Sunita_Mondal77 and the entire team👏 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
Reactivity of Alkali Metal Yldiides Toward Carbon Disulfide

Reactivity of Alkali Metal Yldiides Toward Carbon Disulfide

α-Metalated ylides react readily with CS2, allowing easy and high-yielding isolation of alkali-metal dithiolate salts, which could be analyzed by single-crystal XRD analysis. Conversion of the...
