Behaviour of some sulphur-nitrogen compounds in disulphuric acid

Abstract

Thiotrithiazyl chloride and thiodithiazyl chloride form S₄N₃⁺ and S₃N₂⁺ ions when dissolved in disulphuric acid. Tetrasulphur tetranitride forms S₈²⁺, S₂N₂⁺, NH₄⁺, SO₂ and NH₂SO₂OH when dissolved in disulphuric acid. From conductance and cryoscopic studies, it is not possible to write an overall stoichiometric reaction for its dissolution.
