Isotope labelled 1,1тАЩ-Thiobismethane is used in the synthesis of heterocyclic carbene complexes that are toxic to cancer cells. It is also used in the synthesis of compounds displaying antimalarial activity.

Dimethyl sulfide-d₆ [(CD₃)₂S] is a deuterated NMR solvent useful in NMR-based research and analyses. It can form 1:1 complex with halothane by the formation of C–H…S hydrogen bonds. During the reaction of (CD₃)₂S with singlet oxygen in aprotic solvents, the H-D exchange in the methyl group was observed. The electronic spectra of (CD₃)₂S has been measured between 1250 and 2500?.
