Naphthalene Monoimides with -Annulated Disulfide Bridge-Synthesis and Electrochemical Redox Activity.

Nowadays, organosulfur compounds provide new options in the development of full organic ion batteries. However, many drawbacks (such as kinetics limitations during the reversible oxidation of disulfides with cleavage of S-S bond, as well as solubility in non-aqueous electrolytes) make their commercialization difficult. Herein, a new concept for the design of organosulfur compounds with regulated redox properties and limited solubility is proposed.
