Sulphuric imide?
Sulphur is capable of giving double bonds.
These include:
sundry thiones, with bonding R2C=S
sulphines, notoriously cis-CH2=CH-C=S=O - the onion smell
sulphenes, with bonding R2C=SO2
But are there any compounds with N=S double bond?
What would be the name of a compound HN=SO2, and is it stable? If not, what is the decay mechanism? Do substituted compounds
RN=SO2 exist, and what are they called?

There are sulfinamidines (R2=N-(S=N-R)-R) and sulfonimidamides (R2N-(S=O)=N-R(-R), with the R not necessarily equal. And also
the sulfimides as explained below.
If I'm not tripping on the IUPAC rules, the wossname (HN=SO2) is called sulfonylideneamine or sulfimide, with the corresponding N-alkyl- or
N-aryl-sulfonylideneamines (or sulfimides), or both, for the RN=SO2. N-Methyl-sulfimide, for example, is H3C-N=SO2.
I'd say that
they're more of theoretical than practical interest;
or the ones that are the focus now have the sulfimide units as "appendages", with the R as a large, heavily substituted molecule.
It seems that interest in them was relatively high in the first half of the 1970s, was pretty low until the late 2000s, when it made a sort of
comeback that lasted until about 2015, 2016, and seems to have died since then. I say that because of the number of published papers with
"(something-with-a-long-name)sulfimide" in the title. Sigma-Aldrich may be selling these compounds by milligrams, if you're lucky (or wealthy) enough.
Edit: I hate my typos.
