Abstract
Stoichiometry of Pd(II) interactions with dl-homocystine and 3,3′-dithiodipropionic acid were investigated spectrophotometrically in strong hydrochloric acidic media. It was established that thiolate and sulfinate complexes are products of a disulfide bond cleavage. It is shown that formation of S,S′-binuclear complexes is necessary for the disproportionation reaction. A multi-spectroscopic (UV-Vis, Raman, NMR, EXAFS) investigation on a disulfide bond state in organic disulfides in complexation processes with Pd(II) was developed. A DFT study on geometry of forming complex species was performed.
