Trithiapentalene is an organic bicyclic molecule containing two sulfur heterocycles.
Its 10-π aromatic structure is similar to naphthalene.
There has been a literature dispute about whether the connectivity among the three sulfur atoms is a case of rapid tautomerization between two valence tautomers or a 3-center 4-electron bond.
[2] The reactions have been little studied.
It forms a dinickel complex upon reaction with bis(allyl)nickel.
