Investigations on the iodide of sulphur

Abstract

1. The velocity of decomposition of sulphur iodide in carbon tetrachloride solution has been studied at 0° and at 30°C. At 30°, the velocity of decomposition is about four times that at 0°C. 2. With sulphur iodide solutions, a complete absorption for all wavelengths below 4770 A is noticed. Data on the instability of sulphur iodide obtained by analytical methods, are confirmed by the spectroscopic investigations.
