Hydrogen tetrasulfide

Bohme and Zinner (34), who prepared the methyl, ethyl, and benzyl derivatives. With iodine, the trisulfides give symmetrical liexasulfides. Feh6r and Kruse (66) prepared phenyl-hydrogen tri- and tetrasulfide and n-butyl-hydrogen tetrasulfide and studied their Raman spectra. The compounds are sensitive to bases, and salts are apparently unstable, although White (226) in 1918 reported a stable sodium salt of 2-naphthyl-hydrogen disulfide. 

The H2S sulfanes are the subject of several reviews (129,133). Except for hydrogen sulfide these have no practical utiUty. Sodium tetrasulfide [12034-39-8] is available commercially as a 40 wt % aqueous solution and is used to dehair hides in taimeries, as an ore flotation agent, in the preparation of sulfur dyes (qv), and for metal sulfide finishes (see Leather Mineral recovery and processing). 

Although the polysulfur macrocycles became more interesting to the scientific community after Pedersen s report of the crown compounds (see Chap. 1), examples of such structures may be found in the literature dating back some time. The first report of a macrocyclic polysulfide appears to be that by Ray who found in 1920 that when 1,2-dimercaptoethane and 1,2-dibromoethane were heated with alcoholic potassium hydrogen sulfide as shown in Eq. (6.2), triethylene trisulfide (2) and a substance presumed to be triethylene tetrasulfide (3) could be isolated.

Among these sulfides, only the ordinary cobaltfll) sulfide, CoS has commercial applications. It is used as a catalyst for hydrogenation or hydrodesulfurization reactions. Cobalt(II) sulfide is found in nature as the mineral syco-porite. The mineral linneite is made up of C03S4, tricobalt tetrasulfide. 

The formation of 5,6-dihydro-2,4,6-trimethyl-l,3,5-dithiazine, 2,4,6-trimethyl-1,3,5-trithiane, and 3,5-d ime thy1-1,2,4-trithiolane by heating of acetaldehyde, hydrogen sulfide, and ammonia was outlined by Takken and coworkers (36) and is summarized in Figure 4. Under oxidative conditions, dialkyltrithiolanes are formed at low pH there is conversion to trialkyltrithianes at elevated temperature isomerization into trisulfides occurs, which compounds disproportionate into di and tetrasulfides and in the presence of ammonia, dithiazines are formed. These compounds and the conditions for their formation are of extreme importance for the production of desirable meat flavors. 

The preparation and properties of hydrogen trisulfide (58), tetrasulfide (59), and penta- and hexasulfide (60) were described by Feh r and Baudler... 

Polarization infrared spectral data. X-ray analysis and normal coordinate treatment revealed the stable molecular conformation of poly(methylene disulfide) to be the GG G form [88] which was also confirmed from the results of semi-empirical CNDO/2SCF MO calculations [89]. Poly(ethylene disulfide) was also found to exist in a similar conformation as that of poly(methylene disulfide) [90]. Under vacuum at 50 °C, polysulfide polymers of methylene and ethylene with sulfur rank of two and four were exposed to UV radiation [91]. While poly(methylene disulfide) and poly(methylene tetrasulfide) yielded polymeric carbon monosulfide, hydrogen sulfide and carbon disulfide as the major degradation products, the ethylene counterparts produced the same compounds except carbon disulfide. The tetrasulfide polymers also formed volatile products which on condensation gave the original polymer. 

In here, at least one Y is hydrolyzable group, and X is a functional group such as iodine, sulfur, thiocyanate, thiourea, cyanide, etc., which is called bifunctional silane. When X is a hydrogen, it is called monofunctional silane. Two moles of 3-chloropropyltrialkoxysilanes react with one mole of disodium tetrasulphide produces bis-type bifimctional silane, which is called bis(triethoxysilylpropyl)tetrasulfide (TESPT) [171,172]. 

Equation (45), which will provide a good freshman student a good game to balance, is reversible. Addition of silver iodide will increase the yield of the tetrasulfide. If nitrogen tetrasulfide is dissolved in ammonia and hydrogen sulfide added, the solution is identical with that obtained from sulfur (Ruff and Geisel, 1905). Evaporation will yield only pure sulfur.
