1,2,3,4-trithiazolium radical cation

The 1,2,3,4-trithiazolium radical cation [RCNSSS]+ (85, R=CF3) is prepared by the reaction of an equimolar mixture of S4[AsF6]2 and S8[AsF6]2 (an in situ source of S3+) with CF3CN in S02229 The dication diradical [SSSNC-CNSSS]2+2 (86) is obtained by applying similar methodology with cyanogen...
