Paramagnetic resonance spectra have been obtained from liquid sulfur at temperatures from 189 to414. The para-magnetism, which increases reversibly with temperature, provides direct confirmation for the existence of long-chain sulfur polymers, and the results obtained are in quantitative agreement with the predictions of thetheory due to Gee that postu-lates an equilibrium between long chains and Ss rings. The heat of scission of sulfur-sulfur bonds in a long chain was found to be33. 4±4.8 kcal./mole. The concentration of radicals at 300 was found to be (1.1±0.6) X 10-3 mole/1. and the average chain length is estimated to reach a maximum value of (1.5±0.7) X 106 at 171. Good agreement exists between these values and the estimates obtainedfrom interpretation of the heat capacity data. The line width of the resonance increases markedly with temperature, but the spectroscopic splitting factor (g-value) is independent of temperature. The behavior of the line width is interpreted as evidence for a rapid radical displacement reaction giving for the rate constant k= 2.8 X 108 exp (—3100/RT) 1.(g.-atom)-1 sec.-1. Paramagnetic resonance spectra have also been observed from the black specks obtained by heating sulfur of ordinary purity. A description is given of the techniques of high temperature paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy and of the methods of obtaining absolute and relative paramagnetic intensities.
