Structural parameters of free and coordinated sulfoxides are comprehensively reviewed and average values derived. Principal component analyses have been performed in order to evidence the deformation pathways of sulfoxides upon coordination. Electronic and steric factors, affecting the bonding mode of sulfoxides, are discussed.
