INVESTIGATION OF MOLECULAR STRUCTURES
Abstract
As part of a series of X-ray crystallographic investigations of addition compounds formed by different donor molecules and halides acting as electron acceptors, the crystal structure of a new compound dithiane-iodoform (1:1) has been determined. The crystals are monoclinic (space group P2 sub 1/m) with the lattice parameters: a = 6.56 Angstroms; b = 21.06 Angstroms; c = 4.47 Angstroms; and beta = 104.4 degrees. The structure contains infinite chains of alternating dithiane and CHI3 molecules, the former situated in centers of symmetry, the latter in mirror planes. The angle C-I-S is equal to 175 degrees. The I-S distance is 3.32 Angstroms and thus significantly shorter than the sum of the van der Waals radii of the S and the I atom. The I-S bonds are responsible for the formation of the chains just mentioned. (Author)
