While the metathesis reaction between alkynes and thiocarbonyl compounds has been thoroughly studied, the reactivity of alkynes with isoelectronic main group RE=S compounds is rarely reported and unknown for [RP=S] analogues. We show that thiophosphonium ions, which are the isoelectronic phosphorus congeners to thiocarbonyl compounds, undergo [2 + 2]-cycloaddition reactions with different alkynes to generate 1,2-thiaphosphete ions. The four-membered ring species are in an equilibrium state with the corresponding P=C-C=S heterodiene structure and thus undergo hetero-Diels-Alder reactions with acetonitrile. Heteroatom and substituent effects on the energy profile of the 1,2-thiaphosphete formation were elucidated by means of quantum chemical methods.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a medical treatment that kills target cells through reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by photosensitizers (PS) and surrounding oxygen under the stimulus of light. Despite of its popularity in cancer treatment, PDT relys on oxygen and therefore suffers from long response time and low efficiency under low-oxygen situations such as tumor hypoxia. Herein, to improve the usage of oxygen and increase ROS yield, we synthesized six potential PSs termed DC-O, DC-S, DC-BrO, DC-BrS, DC-IO, and DC-IS, by modifying coumarins with thiocarbonyl and bromine/iodine.

Compact luminophores with long emission wavelengths have aroused considerable theoretical and practical interest. Organics with room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) are also desirable for their longer lifetimes and larger Stokes shifts than fluorescence. Utilizing the low electronic transition energy intrinsic to thiocarbonyl compounds, electron-withdrawing groups were attached to the 4H-pyran-4-thione core to further lower the excited state energies.

A series of thiazolyl-catechol compounds with antioxidant and cytotoxic activities were synthesized by a Hantzsch heterocyclization, using diverse thioamides as the thiocarbonyl component and 4-chloroacetyl-catechol as haloketone. These compounds were characterized by MS, IR spectroscopy, and NMR. Their antioxidant potential was evaluated by antiradical, electron transfer, and ferrous ion chelation assays using ascorbic acid, Trolox, and EDTA-Na as references.

The photochemistry and photophysics of thiocarbonyl compounds, analogues of carbonyl compounds with sulfur, have long been overshadowed by their counterparts. However, recent interest in visible light reactions has reignited attention toward these compounds due to their unique excited-state properties. This study delves into the ultrafast dynamics of 7-diethylaminothiocoumarin (TC1), a close analogue of the well-known probe molecule coumarin 1 (C1), to estimate intersystem crossing rates, understand the mechanisms of fluorescence and phosphorescence, and evaluate TC1's potential as a solvation dynamics probe.

The 1-acyl thiourea family [RC(O)NHC(S)NRR] exhibits the flexibility to incorporate a wide variety of substituents into their structure. The structural attributes of these compounds are intricately tied to the type and extent of substitution. In the case of 3-mono-substituted thioureas (R=H), the conformational behavior is predominantly shaped by the presence of an intramolecular N-H ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ O=C hydrogen bond.
