Resumen:
The N,N,N¡¯,N¡¯-tetramethylformamidinium disulphide (TMFDS) was prepared from
either the electro-oxidation of tetramethylthiourea (TMTU) on platinum electrodes
in aqueous perchloric acid solution or the chemical oxidation of TMTU with hydrogen
peroxide in hydrochloric acid-containing absolute ethanol. The electrochemical
formation of TMFDS at different potentials was followed by in situ FTIRRAS spectroscopy.
The IR and Raman spectra of TMFDS chemically formed as a chloride dihydrate
were determined and compared to the product produced electrochemically.
The crystal structure of the chloride salt [N(CH3)2]2C=S-S=C [N(CH3)2]2Cl2.2H2O,
as determined by X-ray diffractometry, crystallises in the monoclinic C2/c space
group with a = 23.267(1), b = 10.824(1), c = 17.774(1) ¢ªA, ¥â = 126.91(1)◦, and
Z = 8. The structure was solved from 2489 reflections with I > 2¥ò(I) and refined
to an agreement R1-factor of 0.0405. The two molecular halves of the dimericin situ FTIRRAS spectroscopy.

axis. DFT structure optimisation and normal mode frequencies were calculated using
the 6-311G(d,f) basis set at DFT theory level. An estimation of the free energy
for the dimer formation and rate ratio for the homogeneous and heterogeneous

of the anodic formation of TMFDS2+ from TMTU electro-oxidation in acid
solutions.
