Summary

  1. (1)

    In chemical literature, sulphur iodide has been stated to have no existence. In this paper evidence is presented to show that sulphur monoiodide is formed in carbon tetrachloride solutions, when a dilute solution of sulphur chloride is treated with solid potassium iodide.

  2. (2)

    A dilute solution of sulphur iodide is yellow in colour. The iodide rapidly decomposes at ordinary temperatures giving sulphur and iodine. At low temperatures, however, the solutions are comparatively stable. Light is found to promote the decomposition of sulphur iodide.

  3. (3)

    The reaction of sulphur iodide (in carbon tetrachloride solutions) with aqueous sodium hydroxide is analogous to that of sulphur chloride with alkali.
