Using qualitative arguments from molecular orbital theory the essential features of the structures of S 4 N 5 ⊖ , S 4 N 5 ⊕ , and S 5 N 6 can be rationalized. Possible degenerate rearrangements of all three species are discussed. An extension of the presented model allows also the understanding of the structures of As 4 S 5 and β‐P 4 S 5 .
