title: Activation of SO2by [Zn(Cp*)2] and [(Cp*)ZnI-ZnI(Cp*)].
abstract: Interesting reactivity was observed in reactions of SO2with [Zn(Cp*)2] and [(Cp*)ZnI-ZnI(Cp*)]. These reactions proceeded with insertion of SO2into the Zn-C bonds. Spectacularly, the lability of the C-S bond in the O2SCp* ligands led to the thermal decomposition of [Zn(O2SCp*)2(tmeda)] to afford [Zn2(μ-SO3)(μ-S2O4)(tmeda)2].
