The binary compound formed from reaction of hydrogen with this element has a repulsive odor and is released by rotting eggs.
Ylides of this element are important intermediates in the Corey-Chaykovsky reaction. This element forms cluster cofactors with iron in enzymes such as aconitase and ferredoxin. It catenates into its monoclinic form at high temperatures, and it is stable in its cyclic rhombic form at room temperature. Cystine residues in proteins form a bond that is named for a dimer of this element and thiols are organic compounds containing this heteroatom.
