Organometallics mixed with
Sulfite and Thiosulfate Salts

Hazard Predictions

The combination of organometallic compounds and sulfite or thiosulfate salts may result in exothermic ligand exchange reactions. Caution should be used before proceeding. Further research of comparable examples in the literature or very small scale, carefully controlled experiments may be needed to fully assess compatibility.

Thiosulfate ions bind strongly to heavy metal cations such as silver(I) and lead(II), and if salts containing those cations come into contact with thiosulfate salts, ligand exchange reactions are likely to occur. These reactions may be mildly exothermic (Barberá, J. J., Metzger, A. and Wolf, M. 2000. Sulfites, Thiosulfates, and Dithionites. Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry. (Online)).
