Toluene extracts from two (CSn)x photopolymers were examined with High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time-of-Flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry, Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE), and 12C(d,p)13C nuclear microprobing. The extracts contained elemental sulfur and at least from 17 to 20 distinct CmSn compounds with M/Z less than about 500 amu. Whereas H2S is the dominant sulfur bearing compound of the normal jovian atmosphere, elemental sulfur, CS, and CS2 were observed at Shoemaker-Levy 9 cometary impact sites and at altitudes of the transiently disturbed jovian atmosphere where photodissociation and photopolymerization occur. It is uncertain whether the CS2 molecular densities were sufficiently large for both to occur, but photopolymerization could have occurred during larger impacts of Jupiter's history. Since the known stable CmSn compounds are yellow, orange and deep red, they could contribute significantly to the colors of the jovian clouds.
