[formula: see text] 1,3-Dithianes and -dithiepines are prepared via an experimentally simple and efficient direct transformation of 1,n-alkyl dihalides utilizing carbon disulfide and sodium borohydride.

The catalytic oxidization of CS2 over atmospheric particles and some oxide catalysts was explored through FT-IR, MS and a fixed-bed stainless steel reactor. The results show that atmospheric particles and some oxide catalysts exhibited considerable oxidizing activities for CS2 at ambient temperature. The reaction products are mainly COS and elemental sulfur, even CO2 on some catalysts. Among th...

Carbon nanoparticles with large surface areas were produced by the reduction of carbon disulfide with metallic lithium at 500 °C. The carbon nanoparticles account for about 80% of the carbon product. The carbon nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, high resolution transmission electron microsc...

The primary clocks CS1 and CS2 have been developed and operated by the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, Braunschweig, Germany. By their contributions to the definition of the scale unit of International Atomic Time they have provided access to the realization of the SI second over decades with exceptional accuracy. They have stood out against other primary clocks by the novelty of their d...

We provide an updated comparison of second hyperpolazability of carbon disulfide reported in [Opt. Express23(17), 22224 (2015)10.1364/OE.23.022224Optica3(6), 657 (2016)10.1364/OPTICA.3.000657].

We have demonstrated that the ability of fullerenes to form clusters is essential for the filling of single-walled carbon nanotubes in solution. In solutions where C60 exists in the form of discrete solvated molecules (e.g., in CS2) no fullerene encapsulation in nanotubes takes place, as the large molar excess of solvent compared to solute prohibits C60 from entering the nanotubes. However, in ...

The first major mass extinction of trilobites occurred at the transition from Cambrian Series 2 (CS2) to Miaolingian (M) and coincided with a large marine transgression volcanic eruptions igneous province (LIP). Understanding causal links between these events is important in deciphering environmental changes life evolution that time. This paper presents S-Hg-C isotopic Fe speciation data for ca...
