Dithiete

Dithietes are unsaturated heterocyclic compounds that contain two sulfur atoms and two sp²-hybridized carbon centers. Having 6-pi electrons, dithietes are aromatic. Two isomers are possible for this small class of organosulfur compounds, 1,2-dithietes, where the sulfur atoms are adjacent, and 1,3-dithietes, where the sulfur atoms are not adjacent. 1,3-Dithietes have not been isolated but a few 1,2-dithietes are known.^[1]
