Popis: Ethynedithiol-based polyeneoligosulfides have been synthesized in 96% yield by the reaction of sodium acetylides (HCCNa, NaCCSNa) and elemental sulfur through the NaCsp bond in liquid ammonia with the following spontaneous polymerization of ethynedithiols (HSCCSH) formed by the hydrolysis. The polyeneoligosulfides synthesized are brown powders (up to 77% sulfur content, mp 128–184°C), partially soluble in organic solvents. They are high-resistance semiconductors (10−13 to 10−14 S cm−1), possess paramagnetic (1017 to 1018 spin g−1) and redox properties. The oligosulfides obtained, being redox systems capable of reversible redox processes, provide high values of discharge capacity (345–720 mA h g−1) of rechargeable lithium-sulfur batteries. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
