Heptasulfur imide is the inorganic compound with the formula S7 N H. 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) Sx(NH)y.
It is prepared by reaction of disulfur dichloride with ammonia, [1] although other methods have been developed. [2] Together with S7NH, the reaction also produces three isomers of S6(NH)2 (diazacyclooctasulfanes) and two isomers of S5(NH)3 (triazacyclooctasulfanes).[ which?]
Azacyclooctasulfane is an analogue of octasulfur (cyclooctasulfane) S8, with one −S− replaced by −NH−. The S−NH−S center is almost planar, [3] suggesting that the amine is nonbasic.
