Preferred term

thiyl radical  

Definition

  • In chemistry, a thiyl radical has the formula RS.. R is typically an alkyl or aryl substituent. Because S-H bonds are about 20% weaker than C-H bonds, thiyl radicals are relatively easily generated from thiols RSH. Thiyl radicals are intermediates in the thiol-ene reaction, which is the basis of some polymeric coatings and adhesives. (From Wikipedia)
