Abstract

The reaction of [RuIII(EDTA)(H2O/OH)]/2 (EDTA4− = ethylenediaminetetraacetate) with bisulfide (HS) and persulfide (HSS) leading to the formation of a dinuclear disulfur-bridged [(EDTA)RuIIISSRuIII(EDTA)]4− product has been studied spectrophotometrically. Kinetics of the reaction of [RuIII(EDTA)(H2O/OH)]/2 with HS was studied in aqueous solution as a function of [HS-] at a constant pH of 8.2 (phosphate buffer) and temperature (20 °C). Formation of the product complex, [(EDTA)RuIIISSRuIII(EDTA)]4−, in the reaction of [RuIII(EDTA)(H2O/OH)]/2 with HSS was identified by ESI-MS studies. A working mechanism in agreement with the spectroscopic and kinetic data is presented.
