Disulfide/thiolate interconversion supported by transition-metal ions is proposed to be implicated in fundamental biological processes, such as the transport of metal ions or the regulation of the production of reactive oxygen species. We report herein a mononuclear dithiolate Co(III) complex, [Co(III)LS(Cl)] (1; LS=sulfur containing ligand), that undergoes a clean, fast, quantitative and reversible Co(II) disulfide/Co(III) thiolate interconversion mediated by a chloride anion. The removal of Cl(-) from the Co(III) complex leads to the formation of a bis(μ-thiolato) μ-disulfido dicobalt(II) complex, [Co2(II,II)LSSL](2+) (2(2+)). The structures of both complexes have been resolved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction; their magnetic, spectroscopic, and redox properties investigated together with DFT calculations. This system is a unique example of metal-based switchable M(n)2-RSSR/2 M((n+1))-SR (M=metal ion, n=oxidation state) system that does not contain copper, acts under aerobic conditions, and involves systems with different nuclearities.

A series of six binuclear Co(II)-thiolate complexes, [Co(BPMP)(S-CH--X)] (X = OMe, ; NH, ), [Co(BPMP)(μ-S-CH--O)] (), and [Co(BPMP)(μ-Y)] (Y = bdt, ; tdt, ; mnt, ), has been synthesized from [Co(BPMP)(MeOH)(Cl)] () and [Co(BPMP)(Cl)] (), where BPMP is the anion of 2,6-bis[[bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amino]methyl]-4-methylphenol. While and could allow the two-electron redox reaction of the two coordinated thiolates with elemental sulfur (S) to generate [Co(BPMP)(μ-S)] (), the complexes, , could not undergo a similar reaction. An analogous redox reaction of with elemental selenium ([Se]) produced [{Co(BPMP)(μ-Se)}{Co(BPMP)(μ-Se)}] () and [Co(BPMP)(μ-Se)] ().

The water-soluble trinuclear Pd metallacycles [Pd(tmeda)(4-Spy)](X) (tmeda = tetramethylethylenediamine, X = OTf, ; NO, ) were synthesized from the ambidentate ligand 4-pyridylthiolate (Spy) and [Pd(tmeda)X] in 80 and 70% yield, respectively. Two possible linkage isomers are found in solution (slow interconversion found in the NMR) and in the solid state. Density functional calculations showed that the energy of the isomer with a D-symmetric arrangement of the SPy ligand and all Pd atoms having N∧NPdSN coordination is only 7 kcal/mol lower.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on bidirectional electrochemical reactions between carbon monoxide (CO) and formate (HCO) using a versatile iron-thiolate complex, Cp*Fe(II)L.
- The iron complex shows high electrocatalytic efficiency for both converting HCO to CO and vice versa, achieving turnover frequencies around 10 seconds and Faraday efficiencies close to 93%.
- Mechanistic insights reveal unique pathways: the HCO-to-CO reaction involves an unconventional oxidation process, while the CO-to-HCO reaction uses a significant intermediate [Fe(II)-H].

Conversion of NO to stable -nitrosothiols is perceived as a biologically important strategy of NO storage and a signal transduction mechanism. Transition-metal ions and metalloproteins are competent electron acceptors that may promote the formation of -nitrosothiols from NO. We selected -acetylmicroperoxidase (AcMP-11), a model of protein heme centers, to study NO incorporation to three biologically relevant thiols (glutathione, cysteine, and -acetylcysteine).
