Thiophosgene is one of the principal C=S building blocks in synthetic chemistry. At room temperature, thiophosgene is a red liquid. While its properties in the liquid and gaseous states are well known, a comprehensive characterization of thiophosgene in its solid state is presented here.

Article Synopsis
  • Scientists are studying iron compounds with special molecules called N-heterocyclic carbenes because they have interesting properties that could be useful for solar energy and other technologies.
  • They are looking at how iron in different chemical states interacts with other parts of the compound using special X-ray techniques.
  • The study combines experiments and computer calculations to better understand how the iron and other molecules work together, helping to improve these compounds’ abilities.

Adamantane-type organo-group 14 chalcogenide clusters were shown to possess extreme non-linear optical properties. Reactivity studies of corresponding organosilicon sulfide clusters towards copper and silver complexes indicate a replacement of exactly one of the organosilicon groups with a metal complex fragment to form [(EtPAg)(PhSi)S] (1) and [Na(thf)][(MePCu)(PhSi)S] (2)-in striking contrast to reactions of organotin chalcogenide clusters, which are more significantly and less systematically re-organized. The silicon compounds are thus more suited for controlled modifications of their geometric and electronic structures.
