Although well-known and studied for centuries, sulfur continues to be at the center of an extensive array of scientific research topics. As one of the most abundant elements in the Universe, a major by-product of oil refinery processes, and as a common reaction site within biological systems, research involving sulfur is both broad in scope and incredibly important to our daily lives. Indeed, there has been renewed interest in sulfur-based reactions in just the past ten years. Sulfur research spans the spectrum of topics within the physical sciences including research on improving energy efficiency, environmentally friendly uses for oil refinery waste products, development of polymers with unique optical and mechanical properties, and materials produced for biological applications. This Review focuses on some of the latest exciting ways in which sulfur and sulfur-based reactions are being utilized to produce materials for application in energy, environmental, and other practical areas.

“…While the α‐cleavage initiators generate radicals directly upon irradiation, hydrogen abstraction type photoinitiators are only active in their triplet‐excited states and require an additional compound to produce radicals responsible for initiation. Thioxanthone (TX) and its derivatives are well known hydrogen abstraction type photoinitiators . In conjunction with tertiary amine as coinitiators, the efficiency of TXs was found to be comparable to analogous benzophenones due to the better absorption characteristics and quantum yields .…”

“…However, the addition of amines (or in some cases thiols) brings out intrinsic drawbacks such as offensive odor, toxicity, and migration of these volatile molecules in cured films, which decrease the hardness of the obtained films . To overcome such disadvantages, several successful strategies involving structural modifications of TX molecule were introduced by us and Arsu and co‐workers . For example, TXs with anthracene moieties were found to initiate polymerization without the necessity of hydrogen donors in the presence of oxygen …”

“…Photopolymerization is a widely used technological process for UV curing applications involving coatings, inks, printing plates, adhesives, microelectronics, and optical co-workers. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][16][17][18][19] For example, TXs with anthracene moieties were found to initiate polymerization without the necessity of hydrogen donors in the presence of oxygen. [ 7 ] Besides their UV curing application, TXs have recently been shown to exhibit anticancer activities that led to the development of novel pharmaceuticals.…”

Thioxanthone (TX) and its derivatives, which are widely used as photoinitiators in UV curing technology, hold promising research interest in biological applications. In particular, the use of TXs as anticancer agent has recently been manifested as an outstanding additional property of this class of molecules. Incorporation of TX molecules into specially designed polymers widens their practical use in such applications. In this study, two water-soluble, biocompatible, and stable polymers, namely poly(vinyl alcohol) and poly(ethylene glycol), possessing TX moieties at the side chains and chain ends, respectively, are prepared and used as anticancer and radiotherapy agents. The findings confirm that both polymers are potential candidates for therapeutic agents as they possess useful features including water-solubility, radiosensitizer effect, and anticancer activity in a polymeric scaffold.

Schwefel ist eines der häufigsten Elemente im Universum, fällt als Hauptnebenprodukt bei der Erdölraffination an und stellt ein häufiges Reaktionszentrum in biologischen Systemen dar. Die Forschung über Schwefel ist daher breit gefächert und hat große Relevanz und Auswirkungen auf unser tägliches Leben. So hat das Interesse an schwefelbasierten Reaktionen in den letzten zehn Jahren eine deutliche Wiederbelebung erfahren. Weitere relevante Themengebiete sind Forschungen zur Verbesserung von Energieeffizienzen, umweltfreundliche Anwendungen für Abfallprodukte der Erdölraffination, Polymere mit besonderen optischen und mechanischen Eigenschaften sowie Materialien für biologische Anwendungen. Dieser Aufsatz stellt einige der neuesten Anwendungen von Schwefel und schwefelbasierten Reaktionen für die Herstellung von Materialien für den Energiebereich, Umweltschutz und andere praktische Anwendungen vor.
