A novel reaction of metal oxides with the mixed non-aqueous system dimethyl sulphoxide–sulphur dioxide
Abstract
Sever metal oxides react with the system dimethyl sulphoxide–sulphur dioxide to give metal disulphates; in contrast with the spontaneous reaction of metals with the system no evidence is found for the involvement of metal–SO2– ion pairs, and direct conversion of oxide through sulphite is thought to occur.
