Abstract:  The thermal decomposition of the diammonium salt of ethylenebisdithio­carbamic acid which could be a possible source of ethylenethiourea present in some dithiocarbamic fungicides was investigated. The kinetic and activation parameters were determined. It has been confirmed that one of the products arising in the decomposition of the diammonium salt of ethylenebisdithio­carbamic acid is ethylenethiourea. At the same time, a method for the determination of ethylenethiourea based on gas-liquid chromatography was developed.
