A thioether is a functional group in organosulfur chemistry with the connectivity C-S-C as shown on right. Like many other sulfur-containing compounds, volatile thioethers have foul odors. A thioether is similar to an ether except that it contains a sulfur atom in place of the oxygen. Because oxygen and sulfur belong to the same group in the periodic table, the chemical properties of ethers and thioethers are somewhat similar.
