Investigation of Influence of Microwave Energy on Cleavage of S-S and C-S Bonds by Azide Ions

by J. Kurzawa and S. Stachowiak

Technical university of Poznan, Institute of Chemistry, 3 Piotrowo Street, 60-965 Poznan


Key words: azide, bonds cleavage, microwave energy

The influence of microwave energy on the rate of cleavage of -C-S- and -S-S- bonds by azide ions was investigated. It was found that microwaves do not accelerate the split of -C-S- bond, whereas the cleavage of -S-S- bond takes place faster but the reproducibility of this reaction is very poor and microwave techique is not recommended for quantitative determination.
