The results show that microwave-assisted desulfurization has the best effect. When the microwave power is 900W, the irradiation time is 5 min, and the volume ratio of acetic acid to hydrogen peroxide is 1:10, the desulfurization rate can reach 55.82%. Moreover, microwave-assisted desulfurization can effectively improve the removal effect of organic sulfur. XRD, XPS, SEM and other characterization showed that microwave assisted can effectively reduce the mineral content, expose more sulfur-containing groups, and improve the desulfurization effect. The desulfurization rate of three sulfur-containing compounds is: dibenzyl sulfide > diphenyl sulfoxide > benzothiophene. With the increase of intensity of the applied electric field, the C–S bond gets easier to fracture, the applied electric field can reduce the reaction energy barrier, is a benefit to the reaction.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":17081,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sulfur Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41700280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The relative energies of hydrogen-bonded tautomers in both excited states indicate that the thiol/enol conformers are the most/least stable forms. In this regard, a detailed analysis of various tautomeric equilibriums, different types of hydrogen bonds, and π-electron delocalization was performed. The electronic energies of different tautomers indicate the thermodynamic preference of thiol with respect to the other forms. Furthermore, the low activation energy barriers of thione⇄thiol equilibrium also show the kinetic preference of thiol. On the other hand, the estimation of different hydrogen bond energies emphasizes the stronger IMHB of enol. Moreover, the evaluation of π-ED by the structural parameter of Gilli (λ) represents the significance of electron mobility in the enol conformers. Consequently, the duality between the IMHB and π-ED with the thermodynamic stability order of tautomers indicates that the tautomeric phenomenons play a dominant role in determining the stability of the benchmark structures in both singlet and triplet excited states.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":17081,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sulfur Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43721536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
