Magnetic studies of sulphur and some sulphur compounds

Abstract

Solutions of sulphur in carbon disulphide and sulphur monochloride have been studied by the Curie method. Small deviations of the order of 1 per cent, have been observed for solutions in carbon disulphide. This has been attributed to the breaking down of S16 molecule. No evidence has been obtained to indicate the presence of S2 in sulphur monochloride solutions. A few halides of sulphur have also been investigated. The results throw useful light on the valency of sulphur in the different compounds.
