Summary The stoichiometries, kinetics and mechanisms of oxidation of (NH2)2CS (1) and (Me2N)2CS (2) to the corresponding disulphides by CoIIIM (M = W12O40 ∞-) in aqueous HC1O4 were investigated. The reaction with (1) follows the empirical rate law- d[oxidant] = k[reductant][oxidant] where k = 12.5 ± 0.3 m−1 s−1 at 25° C, while that with (2) follows the equation- d[oxidant] = a + b [reductant] [reductant] [oxidant] where a = 5.4 × 104 M−1s−1 and b = 3.3 × 106M−2 s−1 at 25° C. Free radicals are important in the reactions and possible reaction mechanisms are suggested and discussed.
