In
organosulfur chemistry, a Bunte salt is an archaic name for salts with the formula RSSO3–Na+. They are also called S-alkylthiosulfates or S-arylthiosulfates.[1] These compounds are typically derived from
alkylation on the pendant
sulfur of
sodium thiosulfate:[2][3]
According to
X-ray crystallography, they adopt the expected structure with tetrahedral sulfur(VI) atom, a sulfur-sulfur single bond, and three equivalent sulfur-oxygen bonds.[5]
