Abstract The coordination number of sulfur is used in this review as a classification principle; cyclic sulfur‐nitrogen compounds in which the sulfur is di‐, tri‐, and tetracoordinated are discussed. Compounds with sulfur (and nitrogen) of coordination number 2 are electron‐rich combinations of elements whose π‐electrons are extensively delocalized. A correlation between the coordination number and the bond length can be observed in certain compounds containing tri‐ and tetracoordinated sulfur.
