A. Maslankiewicz et al., Azinyl sulfides - Part 11 - 1-ethyl-3-methylthio-4-thioxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline or 1-ethyl-3-(methylthio)quinolinium-4-thiolate?, J CHEM CRYS, 28(9), 1998, pp. 701-704
The title compound 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with a
= 16.720(4), b = 8.577(1), c = 15.855(4) Angstrom, and beta = 98.37(1)degr
ees. The thiocarbonyl group C-S bond (1.697(4) Angstrom) is longer than tho
se of typical carbon-sulfur double bonds in thiones. Bond lengths and bond
angles in the pyridine ring of the title compound are close to the values f
ound for pyridinium salts.
