✦ Synopsis
AbsWct The geometricaI and electronic properties of RSSR, RS(O)SR and RS(O)S(O)R (with R=H,CH3) molecules and the energy profile for S-S bond cleavage wm calcuIated wilhab-hirio MO MCSCF wavelimctions at 3-21W level. 'Ihe muIts show tht the electronic structure of a-disulphoxides is more InCely that of two paired radicals with net spiu population locabd on the oxygen atoms. Also in terms of bond-length and bond-index the S-S bond in a-disulphoxides appears to be much weaker thaa in the other molecules, IN also confhned by the c&dated bond dissociion energy (DE) which turns out much lower than eqected for a true S-S bond.
