The title compound, K(+)·C5H11O8S(-)·H2O [systematic name: potassium (1S,2S,3S,4R)-1,2,3,4,5-penta-hydroxy-pentane-1-sulfonate monohydrate], formed by reaction of d-lyxose with potassium hydrogen sulfite in water, crystallizes as colourless square prisms. The anion has an open-chain structure in which the S atom, the C atoms of the sugar chain and the oxygen atom of the hy-droxy-methyl group form an essentially all-trans chain with the corresponding torsion angles lying between 178.61 (12) and 1 ...[more]
