Sulfur molecules come in many forms called allotropes, from S2 up to S8. The subscript indicates the number of S atoms in the allotrope. We are proposing here a new pathway to S2 formation.

This is thanks to sulfur’s ability to form more than 30 allotropes, or different forms in the same physical state, and to the wide range of chemical reactions it participates in — there’s a ...

Disulfur leads to the formation of other sulfur allotropes and, subsequently, cyclic, or ring-structured, molecules of eight sulfur atoms within the Venusian atmosphere.These sulfur particles can ...

Polymorphism in sulphur is fascinating for the large number of known stable and metastable allotropes: different cyclic and polymeric forms can be obtained by changing the thermodynamic conditions ...
