alquilditielfosfato
Alquilditielfosfato, commonly referred to as alkyl dithiophosphate, is a class of organophosphorus compounds derived from dithiophosphoric acid in which alkyl substituents are attached to phosphorus. Members of this family can exist as esters (alkyl dithiophosphate esters) or as metal salts formed with various cations. The core motif is the dithiophosphate group, typically represented by a phosphorus center bonded to sulfur atoms and alkoxy groups, with the exact structure depending on the alkyl chains and counterions.
The term covers a range of compounds with differing alkyl chains and counterions. The common feature is
Preparation and uses are closely linked to industrial practice. They are typically prepared by reacting alcohols
Safety and environmental considerations are important, as these compounds are organophosphorus in nature. Handling requires standard
