Crystals of the title compound (DBTTF), C14H8S4, feature a triclinic polymorph different from two known monoclinic polymorphs. In this form, there are two independent centrosymmetric half-molecules in the asymmetric unit. Although the molecular orientations are relatively similar to one of monoclinic polymorphs, the packing motif is different.
To a stirred solution of 1,3-benzodithiolylium tetrafluoroborate (0.83 g, 3.5 mmol) in dichloromethane (30 ml) was added dropwise 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (1 ml) at room temperature. After being stirred for 4 h, the resulting precipitate was filtered, washed with dichloromethane and dried to give 0.30 g (58%) of the title compound. Yellow crystals of (I) suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained from slow vacuum sublimation in a gradient-temperature horizontal glass tube. A temperature of the source material was maintained at 480 K.
H atoms were placed in calculated positions and refined in the riding model, with C—H = 0.95 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for CH groups.

Refinement. Refinement was performed using all reflections. The weighted R-factor (wR) and goodness of fit (S) are based on F2. R-factor (gt) are based on F. The threshold expression of F2 > 2.0 σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factor (gt). |

TTF and its derivatives have been well known as the most dominant electron donors (Jigami et al., 1998). Recently, some TTF derivatives have been used as organic semiconductors for organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) (Mas-Torrent et al., 2004; Naraso et al., 2006), which show high hole mobilities in both the single crystals and thin films. The title compound, dibenzotetrathiafulvalene (I), has also exhibited high mobility (Mas-Torrent et al., 2005; Shibata et al., 2008). Since the strong intermolecular interactions between the molecules are necessary for carrier transportation in organic conductors and semiconductors, the investigation of crystal structures are very important. The crystal structure of compound (I) has been reported as two monoclinic polymorphs, which are space group P21/c for α phase (Emge et al., 1982) and Cc for β phase (Brillante et al., 2008). These crystals were grown from solution and the existence of other two polymorphs has been found by means of lattice phonon confocal Raman microscopy and XRD. Herein, we report the single-crystal structure of compound (I) neither the α nor β phase.
The single-crystal of (I) which has been grown by vapour transport contains two crystallographically independent molecules with an inversion center. The molecules have chair-like structures which are slightly distorted from the molecular plane. The maximum deviations from the least-squares plane are 0.206 and 0.222 Å, and the average deviations are 0.085 and 0.111 Å. The molecular geometries in this phase are different from that in the α phase (average deviation: 0.037 Å) and similar to that in the β phase (maximum deviation: 0.235 Å, average deviation: 0.085 Å). The packing structure in this phase is a herringbone type with a tilt angle of 51.11° (Fig. 2), which is also similar to the β phase. However, the long axis is observed to be sliding and the number of intermolecular short contacts between the molecules is increased and the contact distances are shorter compared with the α and the β phase.
