A Twisted σ-Bond Mediated by a Lone-Pair in Elemental Sulfur

Abstract The lone pair is a foundational concept in chemistry, classically regarded as a localized, nonbonding entity. However, a persistent anomaly in elemental sulfur (S8) challenges this view: the observed electron density along the S–S bond shows a bimodal distribution that i...
