General description

2,2′-Thiodiethanol (TDE), also known as bis(2-hydroxyethyl)sulfide and thiodiglycol, is commonly used as a solvent in organic synthesis. It is a nontoxic, water soluble embedding medium for optical microscopy. It is the hydrolysis product of sulfur mustard.

Application

2,2′-Thiodiethanol can be used:
  • In the synthesis of luminescent polynuclear gold(I) phosphine complexes.
  • To prepare Co(II) and Mn(II) complexes.
  • As a reactant to prepare sulfone-containing polyurethane materials for electrophoretic applications.

Interferometric single-molecule localization microscopy (iPALM, 4Pi-SMS) uses multiphase interferometry to localize single fluorophores and achieves nanometer isotropic resolution in 3D. The current data analysis workflow, however, fails to reach the theoretical resolution limit due to the suboptimal localization algorithm. Here
