Thiosulfates
Inorganic salts of thiosulfuric acid possessing the general formula R2S2O3.
Sulfur Compounds
Inorganic or organic compounds that contain sulfur as an integral part of the molecule.
Hydrogen Sulfide
A flammable, poisonous gas with a characteristic odor of rotten eggs. It is used in the manufacture of chemicals, in metallurgy, and as an analytical reagent. (From Merck Index, 11th ed)
Tetrathionic Acid
A sulfuric acid dimer, formed by disulfide linkage. This compound has been used to prolong coagulation time and as an antidote in cyanide poisoning.
