“…This enumeration includes also systems with two independent S n units (n ) 2-8) in one ring, bridged by carbon atoms. The following are leading references: trisulfanes; 125,130,162,171,[222][223][224] bis-trisulfane; 225 tetrasulfanes; [226][227][228] bis-tetrasulfane; 229 pentasulfanes; 122,130,142,148,171,[230][231][232][233] bis-pentasulfane; 163 hexasulfanes; 148,233 heptasulfane; 47 octasulfanes; 167,175 nonasulfane; 174 undecasulfane. 157 The geometrical parameters of the S n units in cyclic organic polysulfanes may be quite different from those in chain-like compounds since the ring closure may enforce unusual valence and torsional angles and, as a consequence, the bond distances will be affected.…”
