Sulfur: Organic PolysulfanesBased in part on the article Sulfur: Organic Polysulfanes by Ralf Steudel & Monika Kustos which appeared in theEncyclopedia of Inorganic Chemistry, First Edition.
Abstract:Organic polysulfanes are compounds of the type RS
n
R with n > 2. They may be chain‐like or cyclic. The organic residues (alkyl or aryl) are linked to the sulfur atoms via carbon atoms. In the literature these compounds are often termed as organic polysulfides, but the IUPAC recommended nomenclature is polysulfanes. Sulfur‐rich organic polysulfanes can be viewed as intermediates between organic and inorganic compounds. On one hand, they are characterized… Show more
