Pyrosulfate

Chemical structure of the disulfate anion

In chemistry, disulfate or pyrosulfate is the anion with the molecular formula S
2
O2−
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
2
O20−
7
, which in turn is the conjugate base of disulfuric acid (pyrosulfuric acid).
