title: Reaction of elemental sulfur with a copper(I) complex forming a trans-mu-1,2 end-on disulfide complex: new directions in copper-sulfur chemistry.
abstract: Elemental sulfur (S8) was found to react with [(TMPA)CuI(CH3CN)]+ to form the trans-mu-1,2 end-on disulfide complex [(TMPA)Cu-S-S-Cu(TMPA)]2+. The X-ray structure of this centrosymmetric disulfide complex shows a Cu(1)-S(1) bond length of 2.280(2) A and a S(1)-S(1A) bond length of 2.044(4) A.
