Sulfuryl

{{short description|1=Inorganic chemical group (>S(=O)2)}} thumb|150px|right|The structure of the sulfuryl group

In inorganic chemistry, the '''sulfuryl''' group is a functional group consisting of a sulfur atom covalently bound to two oxygen atoms ({{chem2|S(\dO)2X2}}).

It occurs in compounds such as sulfuryl chloride, {{chem2|SO2Cl2}} and sulfuryl fluoride, {{chem2|SO2F2}}.

In organic chemistry, this group is found in sulfones ({{chem2|RSO2R′}}) and sulfonyl halides ({{chem2|RSO2X}}), where it is called the sulfonyl group.
