Conversion of simple disulfides to thiosulfinates results in a considerable weakening of the S–S bond from about 47.8 to 28.0 kcal mol −1 for the S-S bond in PhS(O)SPh and from about 63.2 to 39.3 kcal mol −1 for the S-S bond in MeS(O)SMe, [14] with the consequence that most thiosulfinates are both unstable and quite reactive.
Thiosulfate (IUPAC-recommended spelling; sometimes thiosulphate in British English) is an oxyanion of sulfur with the chemical formula S 2 O 2− 3.Thiosulfate also refers to the compounds containing this anion, which are the salts of thiosulfuric acid, such as sodium thiosulfate Na 2 S 2 O 3 and ammonium thiosulfate (NH 4) 2 S 2 O 3.
A carbon–nitrogen bond is a covalent bond between carbon and nitrogen and is one of the most abundant bonds in organic chemistry and biochemistry. [1] Nitrogen has five valence electrons and in simple amines it is trivalent, with the two remaining electrons forming a lone pair.
Sodium thiosulfate (sodium thiosulphate) is an inorganic compound with the formula Na 2 S 2 O 3 ·(H 2 O) x. Typically it is available as the white or colorless pentahydrate (x = 5), which is a white solid that dissolves well in water.
The advantages of this approach are that (i) thiosulfate is far less toxic than cyanide and (ii) that ore types that are refractory to gold cyanidation (e.g. carbonaceous or Carlin-type ores) can be leached by thiosulfate. One problem with this alternative process is the high consumption of thiosulfate, which is more expensive than cyanide.
The oxidation of reduced sulfur compounds is performed exclusively by Bacteria and Archaea.All the Archaea involved in this process are aerobic and belong to the Order Sulfolobales, [19] [20] characterized by acidophiles (extremophiles that require low pHs to grow) and thermophiles (extremophiles that require high temperatures to grow).

Potassium thiosulfate is an inorganic compound with the formula K 2 S 2 O 3. This salt can form multiple hydrates, such as the monohydrate, dihydrate, and the pentahydrate, all of which are white or colorless solids. [ 1 ]
