Abstract
The observed conformations ofcyclo-S7 andcyclo-S10 may be successfully predicted by assuming idealized molecular symmetries ofm (C s ) and 222 (D 2), respectively, with bond angles all equal to the natural value of 106.4 °. These assumptions lead to widely different torsion angles, all of which are close to the observed values.
