Carbon disulfide was discovered in 1796. It is used as a building block in organic chemistry as well as a solvent for rubber and other products.  It was once used as a fumigant for houses, wood objects, and books; however, it is no longer recommended because it can soften paints, varnishes, plastics, rubbers, and tarnish metals. ]]></termNote><termCreatedDate>2026-03-30 20:32:34</termCreatedDate><relation><relationType>UF</relationType><termId>31343230</termId><termName>CS2</termName><termType>ND</termType></relation><relation><relationType>UF</relationType><termId>31343231</termId><termName>carbon bisulphide</termName><termType>ND</termType></relation><relation><relationType>UF</relationType><termId>31343232</termId><termName>carbon bisulfide</termName><termType>ND</termType></relation><relation><relationType>BT</relationType><termId>31319736</termId><termName>compounds</termName><termType>PT</termType></relation></term>  </Zthes>
