Sulfur-containing compounds thermochemistry

Other major sources of data on the thermochemistry of sulfur-containing compounds are the review by Benson19, which is of particular value in evaluating data on radicals and other labile species, and the review of the present author on the thermochemistry of the inorganic S—O—F compounds20. 

Pilcher73 has recently reviewed the experimental data for a variety of carbonyl and thio-carbonyl compounds. Enthalpies of formation for dithiocarbonic acids, R2N—C(=S)SH, thioamides and thioureas were determined by standard calorimetric methods. For an important, older review on the thermochemistry and thermochemical kinetics of sulfur-containing compounds, see work of Benson74. 

In a recent review of the thermochemistry of sulfur-containing species, Benson (4) has shown that in R S compounds with R... 

The present volume comprises 17 chapters, written by 27 authors from 11 countries, and deals with theoretical aspects and structural chemistry of peroxy compounds, with their thermochemistry, O NMR spectra and analysis, extensively with synthesis of cyclic peroxides and with the uses of peroxides in synthesis, and with peroxides in biological systems. Heterocyclic peroxides, containing silicon, germanium, sulfur and phosphorus, as well as transition metal peroxides are treated in several chapters. Special chapters deal with allylic peroxides, advances in the chemistry of dioxiranes and dioxetanes, and chemiluminescence of peroxide and with polar effects of their decomposition. A chapter on anti-malarial and anti-tumor peroxides, a hot topic in recent research of peroxides, closes the book. 

It is to be recalled that not only is there ambiguity as to the products of combustion of any antimony-containing species (cf. Reference 28), thermochemical studies of sulfur compounds show related complications. (See for example, the discussion in W. N. Hubbard, D. W. Scott and G. Waddington, in Experimental Thermochemistry Measurements of Heats of Reaction (Ed. F. D. Rossini), Interscience, New York, 1956.)...
