General Preparatory Strategies For cyclo-sulfur Allotropes
Two methods exist for the preparation of the cyclo-sulfur allotropes. One of the methods, which is most famous for preparing hexasulfur, is to react hydrogen polysulfides with polysulfur dichloride:
- H2Sx + SyCl2 → cyclo-Sx+y + 2 HCl
Another strategy uses titanocene pentasulfide as a source of the S52- unit. This complex is easily made from polysulfide solutions:
- 2 + (C5H5)2TiCl2 → (C5H5)2TiS5 + 2 NH4Cl
Then the resulting pentasulfur-titanocene complex is allowed to react with polysulfur dichloride to give the desired cyclo-sulfur in the series:
- (C5H5)2TiS5 + SyCl2 → cyclo-Sy+5 + (C5H5)2TiCl2

Famous quotes containing the words general and/or strategies:
“Without metaphor the handling of general concepts such as culture and civilization becomes impossible, and that of disease and disorder is the obvious one for the case in point. Is not crisis itself a concept we owe to Hippocrates? In the social and cultural domain no metaphor is more apt than the pathological one.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“By intervening in the Vietnamese struggle the United States was attempting to fit its global strategies into a world of hillocks and hamlets, to reduce its majestic concerns for the containment of communism and the security of the Free World to a dimension where governments rose and fell as a result of arguments between two colonels’ wives.”
—Frances Fitzgerald (b. 1940)
