Na2S2O3·2H2O has been known for more than a hundred years but no structural data were known to date. Now, crystals of this compound have been grown at the surface of an aqueous solution of Na2S2O3. The sodium cations are five- to seven-coordinate by thiosulfate anions and water molecules with the anions acting as mono- and bidentate ligands. The thiosulfate anions and water molecules are connected by O—H⋯O and O—H⋯S hydrogen bonds of medium strength to form corrugated layers, which are linked by sodium cations.
