1.2.3.5- Dithiadiazolyl radicals, theoretical

Activity in this area of S-N chemistry has been stimulated by the theoretical prediction that polymers of the type (RCNSN)x will have conducting properties similar to those of (SN)j. Consequently, there have been extensive investigations of C-S-N heterocycles as potential precursors for such polymers. In addition, a new area of radical chemistry based on RCN2S2 (dithiadiazolyl) systems has emerged. These heterocycles and their selenium analogs exhibit considerable potential for the development of onedimensional metals.
