Dihydroxydisulfane
Dihydroxydisulfane or hypodithionous acid is a reduced sulfur oxyacid with sulfur in a formal oxidation state of +1. The structural formula is HOSSOH, with all atoms arranged in a chain. It is an isomer of thiosulfurous acid but is lower in energy. Other isomers include HOS(=O)SH, HOS(=S)OH, and HS(=O)2SH. Disulfur monoxide, S2O, can be considered as the anhydride. Unlike many of these other reduced sulfur acids, dihydroxydisulfane can be formed in a pure state by reacting hydrogen sulfide with sulfur dioxide at −70 °C in dichlorodifluoromethane. :H2S + SO2 → H2S2O2 Dihyroxydisulfane may exist in an equilibrium with thiosulfurous acid. Organic derivatives such as dimethoxydisulfane, diaceto disulfide, and bis(trifluoroaceto) disulfide also exist. The conjugate bases are called disulfanediolate(1−) and disulfanediolate(2−) . Properties Calculations predict that the S−S bond length is 2.013 Å, O−S bond length is 1.645 Å, H−O bond length is 0.943& ...

Oxyacid
An oxyacid, oxoacid, or ternary acid is an acid that contains oxygen. Specifically, it is a compound that contains hydrogen, oxygen, and at least one other element, with at least one hydrogen atom bonded to oxygen that can dissociate to produce the H+ cation and the anion of the acid. Description Under Lavoisier's original theory, all acids contained oxygen, which was named from the Greek ὀξύς (''oxys'': acid, sharp) and the root -γενής (''-genes'': creator). It was later discovered that some acids, notably hydrochloric acid, did not contain oxygen and so acids were divided into oxo-acids and these new hydroacids. All oxyacids have the acidic hydrogen bound to an oxygen atom, so bond strength (length) is not a factor, as it is with binary nonmetal hydrides. Rather, the electronegativity of the central atom and the number of oxygen atoms determine oxyacid acidity. For oxyacids with the same central atom, acid strength increases with the number of oxygen atoms attache ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
