Summary

In contrast to the opinion of Möckel, the reaction of SCl2 with Na2S n (from Na2S and S8) dissolved in aliphatic alcohols does not produce sulfanes H2S n , but instead bisalkoxy-sulfanes (RO)2S x are formed which can also be obtained from SCl2 with pure aliphatic alcohols. Using a stationary C18 phase and methanol as an eluent the retention times of (RO)2S x molecules (x=1–18) depend on x and R (=methyl, butyl, etc.). These compounds are responsible for the chromatographic peaks assigned to sulfanes H2S n by Möckel.
