Dithionite
The dithionite is the oxyanion with the formula [S2O4]2−.[1] It is commonly encountered as the salt sodium dithionite. For historical reasons, it is sometimes called hydrosulfite, but it contains no hydrogen and is not a sulfite.[2] The dianion has a steric number of 4 and trigonal pyramidal geometry.
