4-(4-sulfanylphenoxy)benzenethiol - Introduction

BIS(4-MERCAPTOPHENYL) ETHER, also known as DPE, is an organic compound. Its molecular formula is C12H10S2, and its structure contains two mercapto phenyl groups.

DPE has the following properties:
1. Appearance: colorless to yellowish solid.
2. Melting Point: about 50-51 degrees Celsius.
3. Stability: relatively stable, not easy to decompose at room temperature.

The main uses of DPE include:
1. Chemical Synthesis: as an organic sulfur compound, DPE can be used as a reducing agent or catalyst in the reaction.
2. Materials science: DPE can be used as an organic solvent to dissolve or dilute gas or liquid samples.
3. Electrochemistry: DPE can be used as electrode modifier to improve the efficiency of electrochemical reaction.

Regarding the production method, DPE is usually synthesized by reacting mercaptoanisole with mercaptan. The reaction of mercaptoanisole and mercaptan under alkaline conditions produces DPE. This synthesis can be carried out in the laboratory.

When using and storing DPE, you need to pay attention to the following safety information:
1. DPE has a certain degree of volatility and should be operated in a well-ventilated place.
2. Avoid contact with strong oxidants, strong acids, strong bases and other substances to avoid dangerous reactions.
3. Avoid inhaling the dust or vapor of DPE, and pay attention to avoid skin contact.

Please note that the use and operation of chemicals need to strictly follow laboratory safety procedures and use them with caution.
