TL;DR: This method resolves the dispute over the existence of hexasulfide in aqueous solutions and establishes the presence of even higher polysulfide chains in water.

TL;DR: The thermodynamic data show that the average polysulfide length is increased andpolysulfides dissolve better at elevated temperatures, though the extent of this increase is pH dependent.

TL;DR: The method was demonstrated for the analysis of synthetic solutions, natural groundwater, polysulfide fortified seawater, and surface water and for time tracing of the distribution of the individualpolysulfides during the oxidation of hydrogen sulfide by hydrogen peroxide.

TL;DR: In this paper, the first observations on the occurrence of inorganic polysulfides in an oxygen-rich aquatic system and marine water were presented. But the presence of these compounds in oxic systems resolves the enigma concerning the mechanism of formation of dimethyl disulfide, dimethyl trisulfide and dimethyltetrasulfide.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the reversible homogeneous disproportionation of polysulfides in a continuous plug flow reactor equipped with an on-line photometric detector and found that the reaction was initiated by an abrupt pH change from an undersaturated solution containing predominantly tetrasulfide species to a pH where pentasulfide is the dominant species.
