RAFT polymerization: The dithiocarbonate structure in this compound can serve as a chain transfer agent in RAFT (reversible addition-break chain transfer) polymerization reaction;
Pesticide precursors: Common intermediates or precursors of organic phosphorus pesticides, whose active groups help improve the toxicity of pesticides to pests, while reducing harm to the environment and humans;
Self-healing: Because the disulfide bond in this compound can break and reform when subjected to external forces or damage, it is used for the preparation of self-healing materials.
