Carbofunctional sulfur‐containing organosilicon compounds

This review summarizes literature data and the authors’ own research results from the past 14–15 years relating to practical, valuable organosilicon carbofunctional sulfur‐containing compounds of general formula R4−nSi(SxR1)n, where R is alkyl, arylalkoxyl, aroxyl or even sylatranyl fragment, R1 is hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, alkenyl, etc., n = 1–3, x = 1–10, having sulfur functional groups such as thiol, sulfide, di‐ and polysulfide, as well as sulfur heteroatomic groups such as thiocarbamide, dioxothiocarbamide, dithiourethane, thiuramdisulfide, etc. The compounds reviewed have been found to be effective, for example, as ingredients for rubber compositions for non‐flammable, water‐ and wear‐proof tires or as ion‐exchanging and complexing sorbents of heavy and noble metals. This review describes literature data and provides the authors’ own research results concerning organosilicon chemistry, particularly carbofunctional sulfur‐containing organosilicon compounds, in the past 14–15 years.
