Thermolysis of bismuth(<scp>iii</scp>) dithiolates toward cyclic disulfides with tunable ring size and near-unity conversion
Solventless thermolysis of bismuth(III) dithiolates Bi<sub>2</sub>[S(CH<sub>2</sub>)<sub><i>n</i></sub>S]<sub>3</sub> at 145-170 °C is designed to prepare cyclic disulfides ((CH<sub>2</sub>)<sub><i>n</i></sub>S<sub>2</sub>, <i>n</i> = 3, 4 and 5) with 95-100% conversion efficiency, whose production is enabled by their low formation energy and a dithiyl diradical cyclization pathway.
