Thiocarbonate

Thiocarbonate describes a family of anions with the general chemical formula CS
3−xO2−
x (x = 0, 1, or 2). Organic compounds structurally related to these anions are also called thiocarbonates.

Like the carbonate dianion, the thiocarbonates are planar, with carbon at the center. The average bond order from C to S or O is ​1 1⁄3. The state of protonation is usually not specified. These anions are good nucleophiles and good ligands.[1]

Monothiocarbonate

Monothiocarbonate is the dianion CO2S2−, which has C2v symmetry. Monothiocarbonate arises by the hydrolysis of thiophosgene or the reaction of base with carbonyl sulfide:

COS + 2 NaOH → Na2CO2S + H2O

Dithiocarbonates

Dithiocarbonate is the dianion COS2−
2, which has C2v symmetry. It arises from the reaction of aqueous base with carbon disulfide:

CS2 + 2 NaOH → Na2COS2 + H2O

Important derivatives dithiocarbonates are the xanthates, with the formula ROCS−
2. These salts are typically prepared by the reaction of sodiium alkoxides with carbon disulfide. Another group of dithiocarbonates have the formula (RS)2CO.[2] They are often derived by hydrolysis of the corresponding trithiocarbonates (RS)2CS. One example is tetrathiapentalenedione, a heterocycle that consists of two dithiocarbonate groups.

Trithiocarbonates

Trithiocarbonate is the dianion CS2−
3, which has D3h symmetry. Trithiocarbonate is derived from the reaction of sulfide sources with carbon disulfide:[3]

CS2 + 2 NaSH → Na2CS3 + H2S

Perthiocarbonates

Addition of sulfur to trithiocarbonate gives the perthiocarbonate anion CS2−
4, which contains one sulfur–sulfur bond.[4]
Perthiocarbonic acid (or tetrathiocarbonic acid, CAS#13074-70-9[5]) has never been synthesized in the pure form but only as a dark brown solution.[6]
