Hexasulfur
Hexasulfur (systematically named hexathiane, and cyclo-hexasulfur) is an inorganic chemical with the chemical formula S
6, consisting of a ring of six sulfur atoms. It is thus a simple cyclosulfane and an allotrope of sulfur. It is also the final member of the thiane heterocyclic series, where every carbon is substituted with a sulfur atom.

gollark: What are they *doing*?
gollark: And about 50 times slower than the JS ones I've tried.
gollark: This is very troubling. Even in release mode, the nim markdown parser is about a thousand times slower than the rust one.
gollark: I wonder if anyone tried making some cool lisp-styled assembler so you could have more unified macros.
gollark: Frankly, I'm tempted to just make minoteaur support regularized HTML or some BBCode derivative.
