In this work we study sulfur confined between two multilayer graphene films under thermal treatments by means of electrical and Raman spectroscopy characterization. We found some similarities between the electrical behavior and differential scanning calorimetry of sulfur immersed into nanoporous anodic alumina template during sulfur phase transitions, this suggests that sulfur has a different thermal behavior when it is in confining conditions compared to the free state. In addition, multilayer graphene was exposed to sulfur vapors at 500 °C to induce chemical reaction. This method effectively produced covalent bonding between sulfur and multilayer graphene and a p-type doping of about 2x10 13 cm -2 in charge concentration. Finally, based on first principle calculations we speculate on the existence of a new bidimensional structure of sulfur.
