UV-Vis spectrum of 100 μM BnSSH reacting with 10 mM [NBu4+][AcO−] in dichloromethane. Immediately after addition of base (black), the intensity of the peak centered around 340 nm increases for 30 min (blue), before returning to background levels (red). Inset: Intensity of persulfide anion (340 nm) with respect to time.
