The copolymerization of elemental sulfur (2) with 2,2‐dimethylthiirane (1), initiated with sodium thiophenolate in benzene solution was studied. By 1H NMR and laser Raman spectroscopy of the resulting copolymers 3 it could be shown that true copolymers with short polysulfide chains are formed and that starting with a sufficiently large ratio of 2/1 diads of 1 are absent.
