Hyposulfite

Hyposulfite may refer to:

  • The sulfoxylate anion (SO2−
    2    )
  • The thiosulfate anion (S
    2    O2−
    3    )
    • Sodium thiosulfate, a salt containing the thiosulfate anion
  • S
    2    O2−
    2    , a reported sulfur oxyanion. However salts containing S
    2    O2−
    2     and HS
    2    O−
    2     are not well characterized; they would be conjugate bases derived from the parent thiosulfurous acid (H
    2    S
    2    O
    2    ), which is also of doubtful existence.[1]
  • Dithionite (S
    2    O2−
    4    ) as in sodium dithionite.[2]
Not to be confused with hydrosulfite, which is another name for the dithionite anion (S
2O2−
4).
