The electrooxidation of sulfur in molten
AlCl3‐normalNaCl
(63‐37 mole percent) has been investigated by means of u.v.‐visible and electron spin resonance spectroelectrochemistry in the temperature range 132°–250°C. The electrode reaction sequence for the oxidation of
S8
to
SCl3+
that was proposed previously based solely on electrochemical results has been modified to include several other intermediates, such as
S192+
,
S5+
,
S42+
, and S (II).
