Disulfur monoxide or sulfur suboxide is an inorganic compound with formula S2O. It is one of the lower sulfur oxides. It is a colourless gas and condenses to give a pale coloured solid that is unstable at room temperature.[3]

Structure

The bond angle S−S−O is 109°.[4] According to its microwave spectrum, the S−S−O angle is 117.88° with S−S and S−O bond lengths of 188.4 and 146.5 pm, respectively.[5]

Spectroscopy

Condensed solid S2O absorbs at 420 and 530 nm. These bands have been assigned to decomposition products S3 and S4.[6]

The microwave spectrum of S2O has the following rotational parameters: A = 41915.44 MHz, B = 5059.07 MHz, and C = 4507.19 MHz.[7]

In the ultraviolet S2O has absorption band systems in the ranges 250–340 nm and 190–240 nm. There are bands at 323.5 and 327.8 nm.[4] The band in the 315–340 nm range is due to the C1A′–X1A′ (π* ← π) transition.[8]

The harmonic frequency for S−S stretching is 415.2 cm−1.[8]

Synthesis

Historical

Disulfur monoxide was discovered by Peter W. Schenk in 1933.[3] with a glow discharge though sulfur vapour and sulfur dioxide. He discovered that the gas could survive for hours at single digit pressures of mercury in clean glass, but it decomposed near 30 mmHg (4 kPa). Schenk assigned the formula as SO and called it sulfur monoxide. In 1956, D. J. Meschi and R. J. Myers established the formula as S2O.[9]

Preparation

The reaction of thionyl chloride with silver(I) sulfide:

SOCl2 + Ag2S → 2 AgCl + S2O

Also 5,6-di-tert-butyl-2,3,7-trithiabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene 2-endo-7-endo-dioxide when heated can form S2O.[10] It reacts with diazoalkanes to form dithiirane 1-oxides.[11]

It also arises via thermal decomposition of sulfur dioxide in a glow discharge.[12]

Occurrence

Volcanism

S2O can be found coming from volcanoes on Io. It can form between 1% and 6% when hot 100-bar S2 and SO2 gas erupts from volcanoes. It is believed that Pele on Io is surrounded by solid S2O.[13]

Combustion

It can be formed by many methods, including combustion of sulfur vapour in a deficiency of oxygen. It arises by oxidizing sulfur with copper(II) oxide:[14]

3 S8 + 12 CuO → 12 CuS + 4 S2O + 4 SO2

As a ligand

Disulfur monoxide occurs as a ligand bound to transition metals. One example is OsCl(NO)(PPh3)22-S2O). These complexes are closely related to transition metal sulfur dioxide complexes.

Reactions

On decomposition at room temperature it forms SO2 via the formation of polysulfur oxides.[12]

2 S2O → "S3" + SO2
