Notizen: Convenient Preparation and Vibrational Spectra of Cyclodecasulfur, S10, and of the Adduct S6 · S10 [1]

Abstract

Thermal decomposition of S₆O₂ and S₇O, respectively, in CH₂Cl₂ or CS₂ solution at temperatures between 20 and 5 °C yields SO₂, polymeric sulfur and S₁₀ which was obtained as pure single crystals in yields of 7-11% with regard to the starting materials S₆ and S₇, respectively. Infrared and Raman spectra of S₁₀ as well as of the new molecular addition compound S₆ · S₁₀ are reported.
