The bonding geometry of sulfur in the cations of the title compounds, C8H11
S+. CF3SO3- and C13H13S+. CF3SO3-, respectively, is similar and is independ
ent of the ratio of the Me/Ph substituents. As expected, in both cations, t
he S-Ph bonds are somewhat shorter than the S-Me bonds. In both crystal str
uctures, the interaction between cations and anions is similar.
