Disulfur dioxide, dimeric sulfur monoxide or SO dimer is an oxide of sulfur.[2] The solid is unstable with a lifetime of a few seconds at room temperature.[3]

Structure

Disulfur dioxide adopts cis-planar structure with C2v symmetry. The S-O bond length is 145.8 pm, shorter than in sulfur monoxide. The S-S bond length is 202.45 pm and the OSS angle is 112.7°. S2O2 has a dipole moment of 3.17 D.[4] an asymmetric top molecule.[1][5]

Formation

Sulfur monoxide (SO) converts to disulfur dioxide (S2O2) spontaneously and reversibly.[4] So the substance can be generated by methods that produce sulfur monoxide. Disulfur dioxide has also been formed by an electric discharge in sulfur dioxide.[5] Another laboratory procedure is to react oxygen atoms with carbon oxysulfide or carbon disulfide vapour.[6]

Although most forms of elemental sulfur (S8 and other rings and chains) does not combine with SO2, atomic sulfur does so to form sulfur monoxide, which dimerizes:[7]

S + SO2 → S2O2
S2O2 ⇌ 2SO

Disulfur dioxide is also produced upon a microwave discharge in sulfur dioxide diluted in helium.[8] At a pressure of 0.1 mm Hg,five percent of the result is S2O2.[9]

Disulfur dioxide is formed transiently when hydrogen sulfide and oxygen undergo flash photolysis.[10]

Properties

The ionisation energy of disulfur dioxide is 9.93±0.02  eV.[6]

Disulfur dioxide absorbs at 320–400 nm, as observed of the Venusian atmosphere,[11] and is believed to have contributed to the greenhouse effect on that planet.[12]

Reactions

Although disulfur dioxide exists in equilibrium with sulfur monoxide, it also reacts with sulfur monoxide to form sulfur dioxide and disulfur monoxide.[8][13]

Complexes

S2O2 can be a ligand with transition metals. It binds in the η2-S,S' position with both sulfur atoms linked to the metal atom.[14] This was first shown in 2003. The bis-(trimethylphosphine) thiirane S-oxide complex of platinum, when heated in toluene at 110 °C loses ethylene, and forms a complex with S2O2: (Ph3P)2PtS2O2.[15] Iridium atoms can also form a complex: cis-[(dppe)2IrS2]Cl with sodium periodate oxidises to [(dppe)2IrS2O] and then to [(dppe)2IrS2O2], with dppe being 1,2-Bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane.[16][17] This substance has the S2O2 in a cis position. The same conditions can make a trans complex, but this contains two separate SO radicals instead. The iridium complex can be decomposed with triphenyl phosphine to form triphenyl phosphine oxide, and triphenyl phosphine sulfide.[16]

Anion

The S2O2− anion has been observed in the gas phase. It may adopt a trigonal shape akin to SO3.[18]

In the Solar System

There is a some evidence that disulfur dioxide may be a small component in the atmosphere of Venus, and that it may substantially contribute of the planet's severe greenhouse effect.[11] It is not found in any substantive quantity in Earth's atmosphere.
