Über Chalkogenolate. 184. Bis(thiocarbamoyl)- und Bis(N-methylthiocarbamoyl)sulfane

On Chalcogenolates. 184. Bis(thiocarbamoyl)- and Bis (N-methylthiocarbamoyl)sulfanes The sulfanes (H₂N? CS? )₂S₂ and (CH₃? NH? CS? )₂S_x with x = 1 and 2 have been characterized by means of electron absorption, infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectra. The decomposition of the N-methyl substituted compounds has been studied kinetically at 20°C in ethanolic solution.
