Abstract

The energetically most favorable isomer of C6S6 detected in the gas phase is not aromatic but quinoid. The difference in energy between A and B was determined by ab initio calculations to be 10.9 kcal mol−1. In contrast, the hexathioketone C, which should have a chair conformation, has an energy almost equal to that of B. (Figure Presented.)
