The kinetics and mechanism of the reaction of S IV (SO 3 2− +HSO 3 − ) with a ruthenium(VI) nitrido complex, [(L)Ru VI (N)(OH 2 )] + (Ru VI N, L= N,N′ ‐bis(salicylidene)‐ o ‐cyclohexyldiamine dianion), in aqueous acidic solutions are reported. The kinetic results are consistent with parallel pathways involving oxidation of HSO 3 − and SO 3 2− by Ru VI N. A deuterium isotope effect of 4.7 is observed in the HSO 3 − pathway. Based on experimental results and DFT calculations the proposed mechanism involves concerted N−S bond formation (partial N‐atom transfer) between Ru VI N and HSO 3 − and H + transfer from HSO 3 − to a H 2 O molecule.
