Abstract: The chemistry of organic polysulfanes (or polysulfides) is thoroughly and critically reviewed. The synthesis of chain-like and cyclic polysulfanes with alkyl and aryl substituents as well as their analysis, molecular structures, reactions with nucleophiles, natural occurrence and potential applications are described. Keywords: polysulfides; synthesis; structures; spectra; application; reactions
