ABSTRACT
Although organic compounds containing sulfur atoms are often considered a simple class, their electrochemical behavior depends on their structure and the experimental conditions used, with both having a pronounced influence upon the pathways followed during their anodic oxidation. Due to the variety of structures, we had to select subjects we considered to be representative of the electrochemical behavior of certain types of compounds: therefore, this chapter is not to be viewed as an exhaustive review. Even so, we had to restrain our presentation, giving only short summaries in most cases. Several reviews dealing with the anodic oxidation of different types of organic sulfur compounds have been published [1-6].
