Dialkyldithiocarbamate derivatives (R2NCS2)nM of a number of metals (M = Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Ag, Zn, Cd, In, Tl) have been synthesised in good yield by electrochemical oxidation of appropriate sacrificial anodes in non-aqueous solutions of either the corresponding tetraalkylthiuram disulphide (R2NCS2)2 (R = Me, Et) or a mixture of carbon disulphide plus the secondary amine R2NH (R = Et, i-Pr; R2NH = piperidine). Similar experiments with solutions of (EtO)2P(S)SH (= HL) gave MLn•derivatives (M = Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Ag, Au, Zn, Cd, Hg, Ga, In, Tl) while in the presence of HL + 1,10-phenanthroline, MLn•phen derivatives were obtained for M = V, Mn, Fe, Co, Zn, and Ga.

The electrochemical oxidation of thorium into solutions of halogen (X2; X = Cl, Br) in acetonitrile yields the adducts ThX4•4CH3CN in good yield. With solutions of X2 + R4NX, the products are (R4N)2ThX6. Neutral chelate complexes such as Th(acac)4 (acac = 2,4-pentanedionate) can also be prepared in a one-step synthesis from the metal, but cationic complexes could not be obtained by electrochemical methods.

The electrochemical oxidation of anodic copper or silver (= M) into non-aqueous solutions of RSH (R = alkyl, axyl) gives MISR as insoluble materials in high yield. In the presence of 1,10-phenanthroline (= L), the products are MISR•phen for M = Cu, but not Ag. Gold resists oxidation under such conditions, and AuISR (R = n-C4H9, C6H5) was obtained in only poor yield. The crystal structure of the solvated dimeric adduct [Cu(SC6H4CH3-o)•phen]2•CH3CN is triclinic, with a = 10.682(3) Å, b = 11.729(4) Å, c = 15.608(5) Å, α = 76.87(2)°, β = 76.35(2)°, γ = 68.07(2)°, V = 1742(1) Å3, Z = 2 and space group [Formula: see text]. The structure is based on a folded Cu2S2 ring with an unusually short Cu—Cu distance of 2.613(3) Å Each copper atom has CuS2N2 pseudo-tetrahedral stereochemistry, with Cu—S = 2.337 Å(av) and Cu—N = 2.10 Å(av).

The cadmium β-diketonate complexes Cd(RCOCHCOR′)2 (R = CH3, R′ = CH3; R = CF3 R′ = CH3, i-C3H7, i-C4H9, t-C4H9, C6H5, 2-naphthyl) can be prepared in good yield by the direct room temperature electrochemical oxidation of the metal into a solution of the parent diketone in acetonitrile. Adducts of the type Cd(RCOCHCOR′)2L (L = 2,2′-bipyridine, 1,10-phenanthroline, N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine) can be prepared insitu, or by subsequent addition of the ligand to the electrolytic solution. X-ray studies show that the molecular structure of both Cd(acac)2phen and Cd(CF3COCHCOC6H5)2phen is based on a CdO4N2 kernel, distorted from octahedral stereochemistry by the bite of the ligands.

The electrochemical oxidation of anodes of selected Main Group or late transition metals (M) in non-aqueous solutions of diphenyl diselenide gives the corresponding M(SePh)n compounds in high yields (M = Zn, Cd, n = 2; M = Cu, Ag, Tl, n = 1; M = Sn, n = 4). The addition of either 1,10-phenanthroline or triphenylphosphine to the electrochemical cell yields adducts in the case of cadmium and copper. The 77Se nmr spectra have been recorded. Keywords: electrochemistry, synthesis, phenylselenates, 77Se nmr spectra.

The electrochemical oxidation of thorium in either nitric acid/tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) or dinitrogen tetroxide/ethyl acetate/acetonitrile media gives rise to non-aqueous solutions of thorium(IV) nitrate species. The only neutral adduct which could be obtained from HNO3/TBP solution was Th(NO3)4•8dmso (dmso = dimethylsulphoxide). Salts of [Th(NO3)6]2− with Et4N+, [(bpyH)3NO3]2+, and [(phenH)3NO3]2+ (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine; phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) were also prepared by this route. Solutions in N2O4/EtOAc/CH3CN yield Th(NO3)4, and neutral adducts with dmso, bpy, phen, Ph3PO, and pyridine-N-oxide.

Electrochemical oxidation of titanium, zirconium, or hafnium(IV) in the presence of a solution of chlorine or bromine (X) in acetonitrile (L) leads to direct synthesis of MX4L2 species in good yield. These compounds are easily transformed into other neutral adducts. On addition of tetraalkylammonium salts to the solution phase, the products are the salts (R4N)MCl5 or (R4N)2MBr6, except that with titanium Et4NTiBr4 was also formed under some conditions. The advantages of this method are discussed, and a possible reaction mechanism proposed.

The use of CO2 as a C1 building block for chemical synthesis is receiving growing attention, due to the potential of this simple molecule as an abundant and cheap renewable feedstock. Among the possible reductants used in the literature to bring about CO2 reduction to C1 derivatives, hydroboranes have found various applications, in the presence of suitable homogenous catalysts. The current minireview article summarizes the main results obtained since 2016 in the synthetic design of main group, first and second row transition metals for use as catalysts for CO2 hydroboration.
