Abstract
The disclosed compounds are adducts of imidazole or derivatives thereof and sulfur dioxide. The adducts are apparently of the Lewis acid-Lewis base type, and are useful as latent curing agents for epoxide resins. The adducts are prepared by interacting the imidazole and sulfur dioxide under anhydrous conditions. Equimolar imidazole--SO.sub.2 adducts can serve as a source of sulfur dioxide at room temperature.
