Pyrosulfate

In chemistry, disulfate or pyrosulfate is the anion with the molecular formula S
₂O²⁻
₇. Disulfate is the IUPAC name. [1] It has a dichromate-like structure and can be visualised as two corner-sharing SO₄ tetrahedra, with a bridging oxygen atom.[2] In this anion, sulfur has an oxidation state of +6. Disulfate is the conjugate base of the hydrogen disulfate (hydrogen pyrosulfate) ion HS
₂O⁻
₇, which in turn is the conjugate base of disulfuric acid (pyrosulfuric acid).
