Henicosane-1,21-dithiol

N. Nakamura, H. Shimizu and Y. Ogawa

Abstract: In the title compound, C₂₁H₄₄S₂, the molecular skeleton including both terminal S atoms has an all-trans conformation. The molecules form layers with a thickness of c/2 and the long axis of the molecule is inclined to the ab plane in the crystal structure. This molecular arrangement is similar to that of the smectic C structure of liquid crystals.
