Description

Thianthrene is a heterocyclic compound with the formula (C6H4S)2. It is a white solid that is sparingly soluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. Thianthrene has been studied for its interesting electronic properties, specifically its ability to act as an electron donor. It is also known for its photochromic behavior, meaning it can change color when exposed to light. One of the main reasons thianthrene is studied is due to its role in the development of organic semiconductors and its potential use in light-sensitive materials. The synthesis of thianthrene typically involves the reaction of 2,2'-dibromo-diphenyl disulfide with sodium sulfide in the presence of a catalyst. Despite its potential applications, thianthrene is not widely used commercially. '
