摘要:
It is shown that all the pseudohalogens belonging to the series of sulfur dicyanide S-y (CN)(2) or thiocyanogens polymerise very easily in the dry state, under moderate heating to produce a series of brick-red or orange solids known as polythiocyanogens with the general formula [S-y(CN)(2)](x) with y an integer 1, 2, 3, 4. It is shown by FT-IR, electronic spectroscopy, and C-13 NMR spectroscopy that the structure of all the series is essentially the same. The use of model compounds with 1,3,5-triazine structure and of particular reactions with Na2S and NaCN reveal that the [S-y(CN)(2)](x) polymers have essentially a polyazomethine chain analogous to that of polycyanogen or paracyanogen (CN), but crosslinked with sulfur bridges of different length depending on the sulfur chain length in the original monomer.
