Abstract

Abstract Electrochemical reduction of elemental sulfur (S8) has been carried out in acetonitrile using a platinum electrode. The products were identified by means of spectrophotometry and ESR. Sulfur is reduced voltammetrically in two steps: S_8+2e→S_8^2-, S_8^2-+2e→2S_4^2- These products turns into more stable species by the succeeding chemical reactions in a bulk solution as follows: 2&S_8^2\oversetK\ightleftarrowsS_6^2-+1/4S_8& &(K=1.6×10^-2) &S_6^2-\oversetK_d\ightleftarrows2S_3^\ewdot& &(K_d=1.2×10^-3) The S42− species was enough active to react with S8 into S82−, which was regarded as the cause of a current maximum on the current-time curve in a controlled potential coulometry of S8 at a potential of the second reduction step.
