Sulfur has been present important in Dynamic Covalent Chemistrydynamic covalent chemistry (DCC) since the beginnings of the field. Mainly as part of disulfides and thioesters, Dynamic Sulfurdynamic sulfur-based Bondsbonds (DSBs) hadhave a leading role in several remarkable instancesreactions. Part of this success is due to the almost ideal properties, conferred byof DSBs, for the preparation of dynamic covalent systems, including high reactivity and good reversibility under mild aqueous conditions, the possibility to exploitof exploiting supramolecular interactions, access to isolable structures, and easy experimental control to turn on/off the reaction on/off. At this moment, DCC is currently witnessing the growingan increase in the importance of DSBs. The chemical flexibility offered by DSBs openedopens the doorsdoor to multiple applications. This review presents an overview of all the DSBs used in DCC, its their applications, as well asand remarks on the, sometimes intriguing,interesting properties that they endow confer onto dynamic chemical systems, especially those where containing several DSBs are combined.
