Chemistry:Transition metal sulfito complex

The structure of [Co(ethylenediamine)2(SO3)N3]. Color code: blue = N, red = O, yellow = S.[1]

Transition metal sulfito complexes are coordination compounds containing sulfite (SO32-) as a ligand. The inventory is large. Few sulfito complexes have commercial applications, but sulfite is a substrate for the molybdoenzyme sulfite oxidase.[2]

Bonding modes

In principle, sulfite can bond to metal ions via S or O. To some extent, the sulfito ligand resembles nitrito (NO
2
), which can bind through N or O. Monodentate, S-bonded sulfites are more common than O-bonded sulfito ligands. S-Bonded sulfite is a soft ligand with a strongly trans labilizing effect as indicated by the rapid aquation of [Co(SO

In some cases, sulfite serves as a bridging ligand forming M-SO2-O-M’ linkages.[4]
