The invention aims at providing novel sulfur compounds, molecular compounds containing
the same as the component compound, and so on. The above aim is achieved by using
sulfur compounds of the general formula (I) wherein Rs are each independently hydrogen,
optionally substituted C1-6 alkyl, optionally substituted C2-6
alkenyl, optionally substituted aryl, chloro, or bromo; m is an integer of
0, 1, or 2; and Z is a group represented by any of the general formulae (II) to
(V) (wherein R and m are each as defined above; W is hydrogen or C1-6 alkyl;
and Y is a direct bond, C1-3 alkylene, or phenylene).
