Proposed move to polythionate? edit
{{cite journal}}: Cite journal requires |journal= (help).Polythionic acids are never isolated and no crystal structure is available for members of this series. Polythionate anions are however well characterized, as reflected by a hefty section in Greenwood and Earnshaw. So I am pondering moving this article to polythionate. Alternatively, maybe polythionic acid should be left alone and a parallel article on polythionates should be created.--Smokefoot (talk) 16:34, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
- This article seems to be about the dilute aqueous solutions of those acids. Presumably they are polythionate ions in solution. This could have also been called "Wackenroder solution". I like your second idea of another article on polythionates - ie the salts. It will be a bit confusing if it is just moved. Anyway referencing here is flimsy.
