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

Radical Cations in the OH-Radical-Induced Oxidation of Thiourea and Tetramethylthiourea in Aqueous Solution

TL;DR: Hydroxyl radicals were generated radiolytically in N(2)O-saturated aqueous solutions of thiourea and tetramethylthiou Andrea and it has been shown that, in both cases, OH(-) and a positively charged species are produced.

Oxidation of thiourea and substituted thioureas: a review

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the synthetic aspects and mechanism/schemes of the reactions discussed in the manuscript are based on stoichiometry and products of the reaction reactions and the reaction conditions and types of oxidants steer the formation of different products.

Free-radical repair by a novel perthiol: reversible hydrogen transfer and perthiyl radical formation

TL;DR: The thermodynamic driving force for the observed enhanced free-radical repair reactivity of RSSH compared to RSH is attributed to the resonance stabilization energy of 8.8 kJ mol-1 within the RSS.

Sulfur Radical Cations

TL;DR: Sulfur radical cations are novel reaction intermediates that have attracted considerable attention recently as mentioned in this paper, in part due to renewed interest in the chemistry of sulfur cations in general, as well as four other factors.

Formation of a sulphur-sulphur bridged radical cation during the oxidation of 1,4-dithian by hydroxyl radicals

TL;DR: A transient radical cation with a three-electron bond between the two sulphur atoms in the 1,4-positions is formed upon oxidation of 1, 4-dithian by OH radicals in aqueous solutions at low solute concentration as mentioned in this paper.
