context_page_description: In chemistry, dithiadiazoles are a family of heterocyclic compounds with the formula RCN₂S₂. Although several isomers are possible, the 1,2,3,5-dithiadiazoles have received greater attention. The neutral compounds are radicals with 7 π electrons. Oxidation affords the dithiadiazolium cations.
  Chloride salts of diithiadiazolium cation can be prepared by the reaction of nitriles with thiazyl chloride:
  RCN + 2 NSCl → [RCN₂S₂]Cl + 1/2 Cl₂ + 1/2 N₂
