Sulfur oxoacid

The sulfur oxoacids are chemical compounds that contain sulfur, oxygen and hydrogen. The best known and most important industrially is sulfuric acid. Sulfur has a number of oxoacids; however, some of these are known only from their salts (these are shown in italics in the table below). The acids that have been characterised contain a variety of structural features, for example:

  • tetrahedral sulfur when coordinated to oxygen
  • terminal and bridging oxygen atoms
  • terminal peroxo groups
  • terminal S=S
  • chains of (-S-)n
