Abstract

Methylation of polysulfides [(NH4)2Sn)] by reaction with CF3SO3-CH3 followed by separation of the produced dimethylpolysulfides by liquid chromatography and subsequent highly accurate stable isotope analysis by a continuous-flow isotope ratio mass spectrometer shows that polysulfide anions in an aqueous solution exchange isotopes with the other sulfur species in the system. It demonstrates for the first time that polysulfide anions are 34S-enriched in equilibrium relative to total sulfur as a function of their sulfur chain length.
