RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE UNDERSTANDING OF SOLUTIONS OF SULFUR IN LIQUID AMMONIA

J. Lelieur , A. Demortier , E. Levillain

The understanding of solutions of sulfur in liquid ammonia has been significantly improved during recent years. This progress gives evidence that sulfur is solubilized in liquid ammonia by a Redox disproportionation mechanism, but it has been shown more recently that this disproportionation is not complete. A large fraction of solubilized sulfur is in the zero oxidation state, but is not cyclic S8. Various results and hypothesis related to this species are reviewed. The proposed solubilization mechanisms of sulfur in liquid ammonia are also reviewed.
