TLDR
In this article, it was shown that if one of the antibonding σ* electrons is removed, the electronic σ/σ* configuration would be a slight repulsion of the two atoms.
Abstract
We all know that it is not possible to stabilize a He2 molecule. Any interaction of the filled He is orbitals would lead to the establishment of bonding a and antibonding σ* energy levels, both doubly occupied. As σ*, for quantum mechanical reasons, is raised a little bit more than σ is lowered relative to the original atomic energy levels the net result of this electronic σ/σ* configuration would be a slight repulsion of the two atoms. The situation becomes significantly different though if one of the antibonding σ* electrons is removed. Open image in new window

Intermolecular complexes between sulé de radical cations from ¯-hydroxy sulé des and phosphate

TL;DR: In this paper, triple-sensitized oxidation of 2-(methylthio)ethanol and photosensitized formaldehyde formation from 2-MTE were measured in aqueous solutions, and it was found that the lifetimes of (S(S) C radicals increased in the presence of phosphate buffer, sodium perchlorate, or D 2O.

The selenocyanate dimer radical anion in water: Transient Raman spectra, structure, and reaction dynamics

TL;DR: The selenocyanate dimer radical anion (SeCN)2 •-, prepared by electron pulse irradiation of selenOCyanate anions in water, has been examined by transient absorption, time-resolved Raman spectra, and range-separated hybrid density functional (ωB97x and LC-ωPBE) theory.

Kinetics of the outer-sphere oxidation of thiourea by heteropoly-α 2 -17-tungsto-1-vanadodiphosphate anion

TL;DR: In this article, a mechanism for second-order proton-coupled electron transfer involving NH2CSNH2 and α2-[P2VVW17O62]7− proceeds through a sequential electron transfer, followed by proton transfer such that the reaction is an activation-controlled outer-sphere electron transfer process.
