Collection: Dithiol Monomers

Dithiol Monomers — covers monomers with two or more reactive thiol (-SH) groups per molecule, ranging from thioglycolate derivatives and mercaptopropionates to simple aromatic dithiols. This abundance of thiol groups makes these monomers efficient crosslinking points in polymer network formation reactions.

Dithiol Monomers play an important role in thiol-ene click chemistry for synthesizing network polymers, adhesives, and coatings that cure quickly without requiring a metal catalyst. Materials researchers and polymer chemists use them to form hydrogels, dendrimers, and surface modifications that require controlled crosslinking, particularly in the development of functional materials and polymer-based delivery systems.

Example products in this collection: TCI T3484 36196-44-8 Tris[2-(3-mercaptopropionyloxy)ethyl] Isocyanurate, TCI D0015 1191-67-9 1,10-Decanedithiol, TCI T2633 10193-96-1 Trimethylolpropane Tris(thioglycolate), TCI D1071 3483-12-3 DL-Dithiothreitol, TCI T2619 33007-83-9 Trimethylolpropane Tris(3-mercaptopropionate), TCI D1320 6892-68-8 Dithioerythritol, TCI T1427 19362-77-7 4,4'-Thiobisbenzenethiol, TCI D2182 5325-88-2 1,5-Dimercaptonaphthalene.

Pay attention to the number and position of thiol groups per molecule, the purity level, and stability against oxidation to disulfides, which can affect storage conditions and reactivity in crosslinking reactions. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
