TL;DR: Substitution of the 1-cyano-1-methylethyl group for hydrogen in the nickeladithiolene ring occurs in the reaction of bis(1-phenyl-1,2-ethenedithiolato)nickel(0) with 2,2‘-azobis(isobutyronitrile). A radical mechanism is evidenced by the inhibition of the substitution in the presence of the radical scavenger TEMPO as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, a rhodiadithiolene complex, η5-cyclopentadienyl(1, 2-dicarbomethoxy-1,2-ethylenedithiolato-S,S)rhodium, was formed by the reaction of CpRh(COD) with elemental sulfur (S8) and ZCCZ (Z = COOCH3; DMAD = dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate) reacts further with DMAD to form a 1 1 adduct between C

TL;DR: In this article, a series of alkylidene-bridged metalladithiolene complexes were analyzed by cyclic voltammetry and it was shown that both reduction and oxidation weaken the M-S-C and S-C bonds in the triangle ring.

TL;DR: In this paper, the reduction halfwave potential values of the imido-bridged complexes depend on the substituent of bridging moiety, and they showed that the reductant of the original complex is regenerated not by the first reduction, but by the second reduction according to CV and OTTLE measurements.
