polysulfideille
Polysulfides are a class of chemical compounds with the general formula R-S$_n$-R', where R and R' are organic groups and n is an integer greater than 1. These compounds are characterized by the presence of one or more sulfur-sulfur single bonds. When n=2, the compound is a disulfide, and for n > 2, they are often referred to as higher polysulfides.
Polysulfides can be formed through various chemical reactions, including the oxidation of thiols or the reaction
These compounds find applications in diverse fields. In the rubber industry, they are used as vulcanizing agents,
