[edit] Dimethylsulfide and Dimethyl sulfide
There are pages for both Dimethylsulfide and Dimethyl sulfide. Having edited one, I discovered the other by following links (and edited it a little bit too). I guess we'd like to get rid of one (and redirect it to the other). Anyone have any preference for which we keep? Which notation do chemists prefer? --Plumbago 12:32, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Both seem to be widely used, however there are more hits on Google for dimethyl sulfide (347,000) than dimethylsulfide (45,000) and more wiki links too so I propose the page should be Dimethyl sulphide.--NHSavage 16:10, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
- The page should be given the title that corresponds to the proper chemical name. The number of Google hits will probably usually give the right one, as is the case here. Go with the proper name dimethyl sulfide. Edgar181 20:17, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Insoluble with water
The intro says:
"Dimethyl sulfide in concentrated liquid form is flammable and insoluble with a boiling point of 37°C and a disagreeable odor."
Is that insoluble with water they mean? ChristianB (talk) 20:32, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
