sulfoxide
Sulfur-oxygen organic compound
A sulfoxide is a chemical compound containing a sulfur atom bonded to an oxygen atom and two carbon-containing groups.
The sulfur-oxygen bond gives sulfoxides distinctive properties useful in organic chemistry and pharmaceuticals.
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is the most familiar example, used as an industrial solvent and topical medication that penetrates skin readily.
