Claims
- 1. A disulfide compound having the structure:[N2—Ar—S—S—Ar—N2]2+2X−Wherein Ar is selected from the group consisting of aromatic radicals, araliphatic radicals, heterocyclic radicals and fused ring structures formed therefrom containing from 2 to 10 rings; and Ar is substituted with one or two moietes selected from the group consisting of straight-chained and branched, substituted and unsubstituted C1-C20 alkyl, aryl, aralkyl, amido, alkoxyl, secondary amino and tertiary amino groups; and X is a counter-ion.
- 2. The disulfide of claim 1, where Ar is selected from the group consisting of C6-C15 aryl radicals, C7-C13 araliphatic radicals, 3-6 member heterocyclic radicals, and 2 or 3-ring fused ring structures thereof.
- 3. The disulfide of claim 2, wherein Ar is a phenyl group.
- 4. The disulfide of claim 3, wherein said phenyl group is substituted with 1 or 2 aryl, aralkyl, alkyl or tertiary amino groups.
- 5. A disulfide compound having the structure:[N2—Ar—S—S—Ar—N2]2+2X−whereinAr is a heterocyclic radical containing no further substituents that is selected from the group consisting of pyran, thiophene, pyrrole, furan and fused ring structures formed therefrom containing from 2 to 10 rings; and X is a counter-ion.
