Preparation of Cesium Trithionate by the Ultrasonic Reaction of CsF with SO(2).
Cesium fluoride reacts with SO(2) under an ultrasonic treatment, with the formation of Cs(2)S(3)O(6) and SO(2)F(2) instead of CsSO(2)F. The trithionate salt crystallizes with one solvent molecule (Cs(2)S(3)O(6).SO(2)) in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c with a = 9.702(3) Å, b = 15.315(6) Å, c = 7.558(4) Å, beta = 97.17(4) degrees, and 4 formula units per unit cell. The reaction route for the CsF/SO(2) system is discussed with regard to the activation or reactivation of CsF as catalyst.
