Abstract: Data on the compositions, structures, and properties of organosulphur compounds forming part of various petroleum distillates are examined. Attention is concentrated on the organosulphur compounds in high-boiling petroleum distillates. The results of studies on the individual and structural-group compositions of mercaptans, sulphides, and thiophens in various distillates of typical petroleums of the USSR are presented. Certain chemical properties of the organosulphur compounds of petroleum and the problems of their utilisation in the national economy are discussed.
