Abstract
Balsam sulfide, produced by the reaction of turpentine/rosin and sulfur, has been used as one of the raw materials of liquid gold to decorate ceramics and tableware with thin gold film for more than 100 years. The characterization of balsam sulfide is still insufficient because of its compositional complexity. In this study, balsam sulfide was characterized using pyrolysis–gas chromatography (Py-GC)–mass spectrometry (MS) and Py-GC with sulfur chemiluminescence detection (SCD) as well as matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight MS (MALDI-TOFMS). Py-GC–MS/SCD analyses of balsam sulfide and its model samples revealed that the low molecular weight reaction products were mainly composed of compounds of one α-pinene unit reacted with 1–3 sulfur atoms. In the analysis of the high molecular weight components by MALDI-TOFMS, the products of two or three α-pinene units crosslinked by sulfur atoms were observed. It was found that dehydrogenation reaction proceeded gradually with the increase in the reaction time.
