title: Synthesis and characterization of tris(2-pyridylthio)methanido Zn complex with a Zn-C bond and DFT calculation of its one-electron oxidized species.
abstract: Tris(2-pyridylthio)methane (tptmH) reacts with ZnCl(2) producing the Zn-C containing complex of [ZnCl(tptm)], whose cyclic voltammogram shows an irreversible oxidation peak at 0.2 V vs. E(0')(Fc(+/0)). DFT calculations suggested that 1e(-) oxidation should occur at the tptm ligand resulting in the cleavage of the Zn-C bond, leading to decomposition of the complex.
