Pk. Baker et al., PREPARATION AND STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF THE CHARGE-TRANSFER COMPLEX (12[ANE]S-4.I-2)INFINITY (12[ANE]S-4=1,4,7,10-TETRATHIACYCLODODECANE), Acta crystallographica. Section C, Crystal structure communications, 51, 1995, pp. 697-700
The X-ray crystal structure of the new addition compound (12[ane]S-4.I
-2)infinity, C8H16S4.I-2, is reported. The I-2 moieties bridge symmetr
ically between thioether groups; the I-I and S ... I bond lengths of 2
.736(1) and 3.220(3) Angstrom, respectively, indicate relatively weak
charge transfer The nature of the interaction has been probed by semi-
empirical molecular-orbital calculations using the PM3 method.
