Dithietane

Dithietanes are saturated heterocyclic compounds that contain two sulfur atoms and two sp³-hybridized carbon centers. Two isomers are possible for this class of organosulfur compounds:

• 1,2-dithietanes, where the sulfur atoms are adjacent
• 1,3-dithietanes, where the sulfur atoms are not adjacent. An example of a 1,3-dithietane is [(CF₃)₂CS]₂.^[1]
