Abstract
The thermal decomposition of lead thiosulfate (LTS) was studied by various methods: X-ray phase analysis, IR and ESR spectroscopy, etc. A mechanism of thermal decomposition is suggested, including rupture of the S-S bond and the formation of radicals. According to the mechanism, the reaction rate can be enhanced in the presence of the PbS phase. The formation of PbS is the cause of the topochemical character of the reaction. The composition of the thermolysis products of LTS containing a radioactive isotope of sulfur is predicted.
