The crystal structure of an unprecedented silver complex of O-acetylsinigrin has shown chelating bonds of the sulfated thiohydroximate and an η2-bond of the ethylene moiety with Ag(i). Mechanistic studies on the formation and decomposition of the complex by the 1H NMR measurements and theoretical ca...
