The title compound, (I), is a 3-thienyl derivative of tetraphenylcyclopentadienone. It can be prepared in adequate yields by reacting equamolar amounts of 3,3'-thenil and 1,3-diphenyl-2-propanone in absolute ethanol and potassium hydroxide in an identical manner to that used for the synthesis of tetraphenylcyclopentadienone (Pavia et al., 1998). The yield for the above reaction is 38%. Low yields of 32% were reported for the analogous dithien-2-yl species using this reaction scheme (Oda et al., 1994). Recrystallization from a warmed 50/50 mixture of ethanol and toluene afforded flat, deep purple needles (m.p. 454 K).

Experimental. For crystals of (I), intensities of reflections at high angles declined rapidly possible due to the observed disorder. All hydrogen atoms were included in calculated positions with a C—H distance of 0.93 Å and were included in the refinement in riding motion approximation with Uiso = 1.2Ueq of the carrier atom. |
Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. Atoms pairs S1 & C21 and S2 & C25 are flip disordered over two positions; however, the refinement model contains complete disordered rings. To maintain ideal thienyl ring geometries, the disorder atoms in both thienyl rings are restained. (See Comment Section for details.) The percent of thienyl-ring flip disorder, refined as one variable for both rings, is 18.89%. |

Since the molecular volumes of thiophene and benzene are nearly identical, guest molecules that contain 2- or 3-thienyl rings are ideal probes for investigating the host–guest interactions during crystal growth of analogous phenyl-containing host species (Vaida et al., 1988). Thienyl-based guests have shown preferential inclusion into the host by keeping thienyl-ring S atoms pointed away from the face of growing crystals, possibly to avoid unfavorable electrostatic interactions between sulfur lone pairs coplanar with the thiophene ring and molecules already incorporated into the growing crystal face (Shimon et al., 1993). Research in our laboratories has centered on the synthesis of new 2- and 3-thienyl analogs to dope into phenyl-based hosts (Crundwell et al., 2003). Crystal structures of thienyl-containing molecules have shown that unsubstituted, terminal 2- and 3-thienyl rings often show ring flip disorder (Crundwell et al., 2002; 2003). These types of thienyl ring flip disorders are common; occurring in about one third of Cambridge Structural Database (Allen, 2002) entries containing terminal unsubstituted thienyl rings (Crundwell et al., 2002).
Initally, least-squares refinements on (I) were carried out using a simple model. The model contained four disordered atoms, S1B, C21B, S2B, and C25B, to account for disorder on each flipped thienyl ring. The following restraints were applied: (i) the positions of S1 and C21B, C21 and S1B, S2 and C25B, and C25 and S2B were equivalent. (ii) The anisotropic displacement parameters of S1 and S1B, C21 and C21B, S2 and S2B, and C25 and C25B were equivalent. (iii) The percent of thienyl ring flip was determined by refining a single occupancy variable for atoms S1, C21, S2, and C25 and their flipped analogs S1B, C21B, S2B, and C25B.
The resulting model had a 19.5 (3)% ring-flip disorder which lead to unrealistic S—C bond lengths [e.g. S1—C18 and S1—C25 bond lengths of 1.6492 (17) Å and 1.731 (3) Å, respectively]. The model had 255 parameters for 4511 observed reflections utilizing four restraints, and the refinement converged to an R = 0.0591 and Rw = 0.1336. (The CIF for this refinement as well as a scattering factor file are available as supplementary materials.)
The disorder model presented in this paper has two complete flipped thienyl rings (additional atoms S1B and C18B—C21B and S2B and C22B—C25B) and the following restraints were applied: (i) the positions for three of the four C atoms in each flipped thienyl ring were equivalent (e.g. C18 and C20B, C19 and C19B, C20 and C18B, C22 and C24B, C23 and C23B, and C24 and C22B). (ii) The anisotropic displacement parameters of S1 and S1B, C21 and C21B, S2 and S2B, and C25 and C25B were equivalent. (iii) Distances for every S—C bond were restrained to 1.710 (2) Å. (iv) A single occupancy variable was refined for both flipped rings.
Athough subjected to restraint, this model retained ideal S—C thienyl-ring bond lengths. The percent occupancy of the ring disorder refined to 18.89 (19)%. The total number of parameters in this model was 267 for 4511 observed reflections with 68 restraints. This refinement converged to an R = 0.0523 and Rw = 0.1182.
In 1965, Hamilton published a paper concerning significance tests on crystallographic R factors that provided crystallographers with equations for testing whether or not the addition of parameters during refinements significantly added to the model (Hamilton, 1965). The application of Hamilton's test to our refinements indicated that there was a significant reduction in the R value upon increasing the parameters even at the strictest level (0.005) of the statistical test. The choice to increase the number of parameters also lead to a more meaningful and physically significant structure solution since the simplified disorder model masked overlapping thienyl fragments to give unrealistic S—C bond lengths. With the increased use of crystallographic databases to extract bond lengths and angles, the need to fully access disorder models for reasonable structural features is ever important.
