Reactions Between Chalcogen Donors and Dihalogens/Interalogens: Typology of Products and Their Characterization by FT-Raman Spectroscopy.
Massimiliano Arca,M. Carla Aragoni,Francesco A. Devillanova,Alessandra Garau,Francesco Isaia,Vito Lippolis,Annalisa Mancini,Gaetano Verani +7 more
TL;DR: The chemical bond and structural features for the most important classes of solid products obtained by reacting chalcogen donors with dihalogen and interhalogens are reviewed and each structural motif considered in the absence of X-ray structural analyses is considered.

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of structurally related oxo-bridged binuclear gold(III) compounds, [Au2(μ-O)2(N^N)2](PF6)2, have been solved and their respective structural parameters comparatively analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anti-Thyroid Drug Methimazole: X-ray Characterization of Two Novel Ionic Disulfides Obtained from Its Chemical Oxidation by I2
M. Carla Aragoni,Massimiliano Arca,Francesco Demartin,Francesco A. Devillanova,Alessandra Garau,Francesco Isaia,Vito Lippolis,Gaetano Verani +7 more
TL;DR: Interaction of methimazole (MMI, 1-methyl-imidazole-2-thione) with I2 in solvents having different polarity gives two new stable compounds containing a dication disulfides and a monocation disulfide arranged in dimers, respectively, which could represent effective intermediates in the reaction of MMI with an active iodine species in the thyroid gland.
