	Thioether - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A thioether (also known as a sulfide) is a functional group in organic chemistry that has the structure R-S-R, where R is any organic group.
		A thioether is similar to an ether except that it contains a sulfur atom in place of the oxygen.
		One characteristic feature of thioethers, like other sulfur containing compounds, is that simple volatile thioethers have foul odors.

	Sulfide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In fact the bonding in transition metal sulfides is highly covalent, which gives rise to their semiconductor properties, which in turn is related to the practical applications of many sulfide materials.
		In organic chemistry, a sulfide usually refers to the linkage C-S-C, although the term thioether is less ambiguous.
		Its repeating units are bonded together by sulfide (thioether) linkages.

	Color photographic material with homophthalimide thioether development inhibitor - Patent 4046574
		A color photographic material having a silver halide emulsion layer and containing a thioether compound which is reactable on chromogenic development thereby releasing a diffusible substance which inhibits the development of the silver halide.
		The thioether compound is a homophthalimide containing a removable mercapto group containing moiety in the 4-position and its nitrogen in the 2-position atom being a tertiary nitrogen.
		The aforesaid DIR couplers and DIR compounds contain a thioether substituent in the coupling position, and when the colour coupling reaction takes place this substituent is split off as a diffusible mercapto compound which has development inhibiting properties and which is thereby capable of influencing the further development of the silver halide.

		This and the availability of an empty s-orbital on the thioether* ligand are largely responsible for a remarkable shortening of the Mo-Mo bond.
		However, back-donation from the metal centers to a vacant s-orbital of the bridging thioether* represents a sizable portion of the overall bonding energy.
		Expectedly, the p-acceptor ability of thioethers increases upon an increased electronegativity of the substituent on the thioether.

		In the early 19th Century, desulfurization was observed in sulfur-rich proteins (1).
		In most cases, a product of this desulfurization was a thioether containing amino acid, which in 1941 was termed 'Lanthionine' (2).
		Interestingly, later it was realized that several sulfur-rich proteins undergo facile desulfurization but there are no reported examples of facile thioether formation from the action of alkali on small organic disulfides such as free cystine or its analogs (3).

		On the other hand, at low pH, OH addition, both to the thioether functionality and to the aromatic ring, leads promptly only to Ph-S+-CH3 radical cations.
		These observations are rationalized in terms of the highly unstable nature of Ph-S+-CH3 radical cations (formed via proton-catalyzed water elimination from Ph-(OH)-S-CH3 radicals) and their rapid conversion into Ph-S+-CH3 radical cations.
		Additional experimental support for the instability of radical cations derived from aromatic thioethers with delocalized positive charge on the aromatic ring has been obtained from the OH-induced oxidation studies of phenylthioacetic acid (Ph-S-CH2-COOH).
