The kinetics of oxidation of dithiocarbamate anions to thiuram disulfides in aqueous acetone by 3- and 11 other substitution inert metal complexes have been investigated.Outer-sphere electron transfer, resulting in the formation of dithiocarbamate thio radicals, is the rate determining step.A Marcus cross reaction treatment allows an estimate for the redox potential for the dithiocarbamate radical/anion couple.For diethyldithiocarbamate, Edeg(edtc./edtc-) = 425+/-33 mV ν.s.c.e. and the outer-sphere electron self-exchange rate constant is logkex = 7.0+/-0.3.A comparison with thiophenolate oxidation is also given.
