Didn't realize the work also being done in COS ... newly added ... or me just not paying attention. Possibly the latter.
COS = Carbonyl Sulphide
More on COS ...

WELCOME to the Matson group website. We develop new small molecules and materials for biology, medicine, and sustainability using techniques and tools from organic chemistry, polymer chemistry, and supramolecular chemistry. Our research group is interdisciplinary, using chemistry to answer biological questions, discover potential new therapeutics, explore new polymer topologies, and design sustainable materials for a broad variety of applications. Current areas of focus include:
- New compounds and materials for gasotransmitter delivery, focused on H2S and COS
- Photo- and biodegradable polymer synthesis
- Peptide-based responsive materials
- New methods for synthesis of bottlebrush polymers
- Novel covalent nanostructures with anisotropic shapes
The part of the above link that really caught my eye ...
"Building on these factors, this review focuses on current knowledge of biological COS formation and consumption, growing evidence that COS may play roles in sulfide transport and disease pathology, emerging chemical tools for investigating COS in biological contexts, and the potential role of COS as a new member of the gasotransmitter family."
