Fw. Heinemann et al., CRYSTAL AND MOLECULAR-STRUCTURE OF 2-[3-( IETHYLAMMONIUM)PROPYLIMINO]-2-PHENYL-DITHIOACETATE, Zeitschrift fur Naturforschung. B, A journal of chemical sciences, 50(1), 1995, pp. 81-85
The title compound, formed by the reaction of acetophenone with 3-diet
hylamino-1-propylamine and sulfur, crystallizes in the orthorhombic sp
ace group P2(1) 2(1)2(1) (Z = 4) with lattice constants a = 818.1(2) p
m, b = 1225.1(2) pm and c = 1622.4(4) pm. The characterization of the
molecule as a zwitterion is established by the observed bond parameter
s. Both spectroscopic investigations and the results of the X-ray stru
cture determination show that a hydrogen atom is bonded to the amino n
itrogen rather than to the imino nitrogen.
