The infrared spectra of 15 aliphatic and aromatic zinc sulfinates are given. With zinc p-toluene-sulfinate, run neat as an extremely thin, flat crystal, the symmetric and asymmetric S → 0 peaks were clearly visible at 10.1 μ (990 cm⁻¹) and 10.6 μ (943 cm⁻¹), respectively, and similar absorptions were obtained for the other sulfinates run as Nujol mulls. In distinction to sulfonic acid salts, the sulfinates have practically no absorption in the 8-9 μ (1250-1110 cm⁻¹) region, whereas the sulfonates have no absorption in the 10-11 μ (1000-910 cm⁻¹) thus indicating the analytical value of the spectra in distinguishing these two groups of compounds.
