Complex Structures—A Preview of Coming Attractions

Another interesting structure is that of the dithionite ion, S2042, which is shown as 

In several compounds that contain S-S single bonds, the bond length is approximately 205 pm. The 

In addition to the structures discussed so far in this chapter, inorganic chemistry involves many oth- 

Dichlorine heptoxide, C1207, results from the dehydration of HC104 with a strong dehydrating agent such as P4O10  

The di- or pyrophosphate ion results from the partial dehydration of phosphoric acid,
