Transition metal sulfito complexes are coordination compounds containing sulfite (SO3) as a ligand. The inventory is large. Few sulfito complexes have commercial applications, but sulfite is a substrate for the molybdoenzyme sulfite oxidase.

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(SO3)(NH3)5] to give [Co(SO3)(NH3)4(H2O)].

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

Examples

  • [Co(tetren)SO3] (tetren = HN(CH2CH2NHCH2CH2NH2)2)
  • [M(SO3)2(en)2] (M = Rh, Co, en = ethylenediamine)
  • [Pd(en)(SO3)2]
  • [Au(en)(SO3)2]

Complexes with modified sulfito ligands

Structure of [PtCl2(SO3H)(SO3)]

Being dibasic, sulfito ligands are susceptible to O-alkylation and O-protonation. Some examples:

  • Ru(phen)2(SO3H)2
  • Pt[P(C6H5)3]2(SO3CH3)2
  • Pt2(en)2(mu−S,O−SO3)2
  • [PtCl2(SO3H)(SO3)]
