Iodine is a bluish-black, lustrous solid, volatizing at ordinary temperatures into a blue-violet gas with an irritating odor it forms compounds with many elements, but is less active than the other halogens, which displace it from iodides. Iodine exhibits some metallic-like properties. It dissolves readily in chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, or carbon disulfide to form beautiful purple solutions. It is only slightly soluble in water. 

Thiazole disulfides are reported to yield quantitatively A-4-thiazoline-2-thiones under treatment with zinc powder in acetic acid (326). The disulfide bond can be broken on heating at 100 to 260°C and (or) by alkali. This property has been used for photographic emulsions (327). The disulfide (136) (R = 4-(D-arabmo-tetrahydroxybutyD can be cleaved readily by aqueous sodium hydroxyde. carbonate, or hydrogen carbonate (149) to give 135 a by-product, 4-(D-arabino-ietrahydroxybutyl) thiazole... 

Hydrogen bonding stabilizes some protein molecules in helical forms, and disulfide cross-links stabilize some protein molecules in globular forms. We shall consider helical structures in Sec. 1.11 and shall learn more about ellipsoidal globular proteins in the chapters concerned with the solution properties of polymers, especially Chap. 9. Both secondary and tertiary levels of structure are also influenced by the distribution of polar and nonpolar amino acid molecules relative to the aqueous environment of the protein molecules. Nonpolar amino acids are designated in Table 1.3. 

Pure adiponitrile is a colorless Hquid and has no distinctive odor some properties are shown in Table 5. It is soluble in methanol, ethanol, chloroalkanes, and aromatics but has low solubiUty in carbon disulfide, ethyl ether, and aUphatic hydrocarbons. At 20°C, the solubiUty of adiponitrile in water is ca 8 wt % the solubiUty increases to 35 wt % at 100°C. At 20°C, adiponitrile dissolves ca 5 wt % water.

Dinitrotoluene crystallizes in yellow needles from carbon disulfide and is soluble in a number of organic solvents. It is only slightly soluble in water, 0.03 g/100 g of water at 22°C. Its physical properties are Hsted in Table 13. 

The tnhahdes of phosphoms usually are obtained by direct halogenation under controlled conditions, eg, in carbon disulfide solution in the case of the triiodide. Phosphoms trifluoride [7647-19-0] is best made by transhalogenation of PCl using AsF or Cap2. AH of the phosphoms tnhahdes are both Lewis bases and acids. The phosphoms tnhahdes rapidly hydroly2e in water and are volatile. Examination by electron diffraction has confirmed pyramidal stmctures for the gaseous tnhahde molecules (36). Physical properties and heat of formation of some phosphoms hahdes are hsted in Table 7. 

Properties. Hydroxyhydroquiaone forms platelets or prisms (mp 140.5°C). The compound is easily soluble ia water, ethanol, diethyl ether, and ethyl acetate and is very spariagly soluble ia chloroform, carbon disulfide, benzene, and ligroin. 

Reactions of the Disulfide Group. Besides the thiol end groups, the disulfide bonds also have a marked influence on both the chemical and physical properties of the polysulftde polymers. One of the key reactions of disulfides is nucleophilic attack on sulfur (eq. 4). The order of reactivity for various thiophiles has been reported as (C2H O) P > R, HS , C2H5 S- >C,H,S- >C,H,P,... 

Chemical Properties The formation of salts with acids is the most characteristic reaction of amines. Since the amines are soluble in organic solvents and the salts are usually not soluble, acidic products can be conveniendy separated by the reaction with an amine, the unshared electron pair on the amine nitrogen acting as proton acceptor. Amines are good nucleophiles reactions of amines at the nitrogen atom have as a first step the formation of a bond with the unshared electron pair of nitrogen, eg, reactions with acid anhydrides, haUdes, and esters, with carbon dioxide or carbon disulfide, and with isocyanic or isothiocyanic acid derivatives. 

In contrast, the EV cure systems employ much lower levels of free sulfur (0.1—1.0 phr) or they use sulfur donors such as TMTD or DTDM combkied with higher accelerator levels. The short mono- and disulfide cross-links that form often do not exhibit the excellent physical properties of the conventional systems but they do retain thek properties much better after aging. 

Fillers. Materials used as fillers (qv) in mbber can also be classified as acidic, basic, or neutral. Furnace blacks, ie, HAF, FEF, or SRF, are somewhat basic. As such, they can have an activating effect on sulfur cure rates. Furthermore, carbon blacks have been found to promote formation of mono/disulfide cross-links thereby helping minimize reversion and enhance aging properties. 

Accelerators are chemical compounds that iacrease the rate of cure and improve the physical properties of the compound. As a class, they are as important as the vulcanising agent itself. Without the accelerator, curing requires hours or even days to achieve acceptable levels. Aldehyde amines, thiocarbamates, thiuram sulfides, guanidines, and thiasoles are aU. classified as accelerators. By far, the most widely used are the thiasoles, represented by mercaptobensothiasole (MBT) and bensothiasyl disulfide (MBTS). 

Chemica.1 Properties. Reviews of carbonyl sulfide chemistry are available (18,23,24). Carbonyl sulfide is a stable compound and can be stored under pressure ia steel cylinders as compressed gas ia equiUbrium with Hquid. At ca 600°C carbonyl sulfide disproportionates to carbon dioxide and carbon disulfide at ca 900°C it dissociates to carbon monoxide and sulfur. It bums with a blue flame to carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide. Carbonyl sulfide reacts... 

Chemical Properties. Ammonium thiocyanate rearranges upon heating to an equiHbrium mixture with thiourea 30.3 wt % thiourea at 150°C, 25.3 wt % thiourea at 180°C (373,375). At 190—200°C, dry ammonium thiocyanate decomposes to hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and carbon disulfide, leaving guanidine thiocyanate [56960-89-5] as a residue. Aqueous solutions of ammonium thiocyanate are weakly acidic a 5 wt % solution has a pH of 4—6. 

Tungsten pentachlofide [13470-13-8], WCl, mp 243°C, bp 275.6°C, is a black, crystalline, deHquescent soHd. It is only slightly soluble in carbon disulfide and decomposes in water to the blue oxide, 200 2. Magnetic properties suggest that tungsten pentachlofide may contain trinuclear clusters in the soHd state, but this stmcture has not been defined. Tungsten pentachlofide may be prepared by the reduction of the hexachloride with red phosphoms (9). 

Tungsten disulfide forms adherent, soft, continuous films on a variety of surfaces and exhibits good lubricating properties similar to molybdenum disulfide and graphite (51) (see also Lubrication and lubricants). Itis also reported to be a semiconductor (qv). 

Both antimony tribromide and antimony ttiiodide are prepared by reaction of the elements. Their chemistry is similar to that of SbCl in that they readily hydroly2e, form complex haUde ions, and form a wide variety of adducts with ethers, aldehydes, mercaptans, etc. They are soluble in carbon disulfide, acetone, and chloroform. There has been considerable interest in the compounds antimony bromide sulfide [14794-85-5] antimony iodide sulfide [13868-38-1] ISSb, and antimony iodide selenide [15513-79-8] with respect to their soHd-state properties, ferroelectricity, pyroelectricity, photoconduction, and dielectric polarization. 

With minor exceptions the requirements for the physical and chemical properties of asphalt were essentially the same for the three national specifications and included penetration and ductiUty at 25 °C flash point % loss at 163 °C penetration of residue as a % of original solubiUty in carbon disulfide solubiUty in carbon tetrachloride specific gravity at 25°C and softening point.
