Room Temperature One-Step Conversion from Elemental Sulfur to Functional Polythioureas through Catalyst-Free Multicomponent Polymerizations
Abstract
The utilization of sulfur is a global concern, considering the abundant and cheap source of sulfur from nature and petroleum industry, its limited consumption, and the safety/environmental problems caused during storage. The economic and efficient transformation of sulfur remains to be a great challenge for both academia and industry. Herein, a room temperature conversion from sulfur to functional polythioureas was reported through a catalyst-free multicomponent polymerization of sulfur, aliphatic diamines, and diisocyanides in air with 100% atom economy. The polymerization enjoys quick reaction and wide monomer scope, which affords 16 polythioureas with well-defined structures, high molecular weights ( M w s up to 242 500 g/mol), and excellent yields (up to 95%). The polythioureas can be utilized to detect mercury pollution with high sensitivity ( K sv = 224 900 L/mol) and high selectivity, clean Hg 2+ with high removal efficiency (>99.99%) to achieve drinking water standard, and monitor the real-time removal process by fluorescence.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
