Despite more than 200 years of sulfur research the chemistry of
elemental sulfur and sulfur-rich compounds is still full of "white
spots" which have to be filled in with solid knowledge and reliable
data. This situation is parti- larly regrettable since elemental
sulfur is one of the most important raw - terials of the chemical
industry produced in record-breaking quantities of ca. 35 million
tons annually worldwide and mainly used for the production of
sulfuric acid. Fortunately, enormous progress has been made during
the last 30 years in the understanding of the "yellow element." As
the result of extensive inter- tional research activities sulfur
has now become the element with the largest number of allotropes,
the element with the largest number of binary oxides, and also the
element with the largest number of binary nitrides. Sulfur, a
typical non-metal, has been found to become a metal at high
pressure and is even superconducting at 10 K under a pressure of 93
GPa and at 17 K at 260 GPa, respectively. This is the highest
critical temperature of all chemical elements. Actually, the
pressure-temperature phase diagram of sulfur is one of the most
complicated of all elements and still needs further investigation.
