Abstract

A spectroscopic investigation into the reaction of sodium tetrathionate with cysteine at pH 5 both at the boil and at room temperature has been carried out. The Raman and infrared spectra of the model compounds cysteine, cysteine-S-sulfonate, cysteine-S-thiosulfonate, sodium thiosulfate and sodium sulfite were also obtained and vibrations involving the sulfur atoms were analyzed in detail. These results were utilized in the interpretation of the ...
