Heptasulfur imide is the inorganic compound with the formula S
7NH. It is a pale yellow solid that is, like elemental sulfur, highly soluble in carbon disulfide. The compound, which is only of academic interest, is representative of a family of sulfur imides (or azacyclosulfanes or thiacycloazanes) S
x(NH)
y.
Synthesis and structure
It is prepared by reaction of disulfur dichloride with ammonia,[1] although other methods have been developed.[2] Together with S
7NH, the reaction also produces three isomers of S
6(NH)
2 (diazacyclooctasulfanes) and two isomers of S
5(NH)
3 (triazacyclooctasulfanes).[which?]
Azacyclooctasulfane is an analogue of octasulfur (cyclooctasulfane) S
8, with one –S– replaced by –NH–. The S–NH–S center is almost planar,[3] suggesting that the amine is nonbasic.
