Abstract: The voltammetric method was used for studying the course of oxidn. of N,N'-ethylenebis(thioacetylacetoniminato)copper(II) complex (CuN₂S₂) ] and N,N'-ethylenebis(thioacetylacetoniminato)cobalt(II) complex (CoN₂S₂)   in a no. of nonaq. solvents at a Pt electrode. The complex CuN₂S₂ undergoes reversible 1-electron oxidn. in all the solvents at the almost const. potentials. The oxidn. of CoN₂S₂ can be described as a quasi-reversible 1-electron process, and the solvent dependence of its E1/2 values was roughly indirectly related to the donor properties of the solvents used.
