Polysulfides
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-009242
Anions or compounds containing a chain of two or more sulfur atoms, often with a negative charge or bonded to metal cations. These species are characterized by the presence of S-S bonds within the chain. For example, disulfides contain two sulfur atoms, while higher polysulfides can have many more.
