Graphical Abstract

In the gas phase, sulfur and monopositive metal ions (ScZn) react to form novel metallo- and metallapolysulfanes [MSy]+. The structures of these complexes were calculated by ab initio methods. The lowest energy structure of [Cu(cyclo-S12)]+, in which the octahedrally coordinated Cu+ ion is located in the center of the S12 cycle, is shown in the picture on the right.
