C. Kolinsky et al., STRUCTURE OF TRIMETHYLOXOSULFONIUM SALTS .8. NEW REFINEMENT OF THE PERCHLORATE (CH3)3SO-DOT-CLO4-(CENTER), Acta crystallographica. Section C, Crystal structure communications, 50, 1994, pp. 1514-1516
The trimethyloxosulfonium cations, (CH3)3SO+, have the same geometry a
s in the other salts reported previously. The ClO4- anions occupy two
different sites of tetrahedral geometry. The first type is regular [CI
-0 bonds 1.402 (2) angstrom], while the second has an irregular form [
Cl-O bonds from 1.379 (5) to 1.417 (3) angstrom]; two kinds of tetrahe
dra are located at the site having m symmetry with occupation factors
of 0.5. The structure of this compound has been solved previously [Cou
lder, Gantzel & McCullough, (1963). Acta Cryst. 16, 676-6811 but the o
ld data required refinement.
