Sulfur-Nitrogen Compounds Compounds with Sulfur of Oxidation Number II

The volume continues the description of acyclic sulfur - nitrogen compounds with sulfur having the oxidation number II and covers amino-di- and aminopolysulfanes as well as diamino-di- and diamino-polysulfanes. Numerous examples of the class of diamino-disulfanes and their interesting chemical properties are described: N,N'-disulfanediyl-bis(N-heterocycles), for instance, undergo S-S bond scission in a thermal or photochemical radical - dimer equilibrium or react with acetylenes to give thiophenes, and N,N'disulfanediyl-bis(phthalimide) is a sulfur transfer reagent for organic synthesis. The volume completes the series on sulfur - nitrogen compounds which is a unique and comprehensive source of information for this field in chemistry.
