(Received 29 August 2009; accepted 11 September 2009; online 16 September 2009)

The title compound, C5H4Br2S4, consists of a statistically planar, 4-bromo-1,3-dithiole-2-thione unit [maximum deviation from the ring plane 0.001 (2) Å], with a bromo­ethyl­sulfanyl substituent in the 5-position. In the crystal structure, weak inter­molecular S⋯S [3.438 (15) and 3.522 (15) Å] and S⋯Br [3.422 (14) and 3.498 (14) Å] inter­actions generate a three-dimensional supra­molecular architecture.

Comment top

Tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) and its derivatives have attracted great interest for their high electronic conductivity, superconductivity as well as supramolecular features (Segura & Martin, 2001; Jeppesen et al., 2004). The attachment of halogen atoms to TTF framework reduces the π-electron donating ability and this effect is additive with an increasing number of halogens on the TTF system (Wang et al., 1995), As important precursors to the halogenated TTF derivatives, 1,3-dithiole-2-(thi)ones involving bromine groups have also attracted attention (Batsanov et al., 2001; Alberola et al., 2006). We describe here the synthesis and structure of a novel 4-bromo-5-[(2-bromoethyl)sulfanyl]-1,3-dithiole-2-thione compound, (I) (Fig. 1).

As seen from Fig. 1, all five atoms of five-membered dithiole ring and three exocyclic S1, Br1 and S4 atoms are nearly coplanar with a maximum deviation from the least-squares plane of only 0.1045 Å (Br2). The C-S bond lengths range from 1.647 (4) to 1.814 (4) Å. The bond distances C1-S1 (1.647 (3)) Å, C2-S4 (1.753 (3)) Å, and Br2-C3(1.883 (4)) Å are relatively short which indicates a degree of conjugation of the S1, S4 and Br2 substituents with the 1,3-dithiol ring system. However, the C4-S4 bond is typical of a single bond with a bond length of 1.814 (4) Å. The structure of title compound is very similar to that of 3-(2-thioxo-1,3- dithiol-4-ylsulfanyl)propanenitrile (Zhao et al., 2008).

In the crystal structure, molecules of (I) form 1-dimensional chains by way of intermolecular S···S interactions along a axis (Fig.2). The distances between alternate S2 atoms are 3.438 (15) Å and 3.522 (15) Å, respectively. In addition, the 1-dimensional chains are interconnected by intermolecular S1···Br2 interactions (S1···Br2 = 3.422 (14) Å) to generate a 2-dimensional sheet (Fig. 3) in the ab plane. These are further linked by intermolecular Br1···S1 interactions (S1···Br1 = 3.498 (14) Å) to form a 3-dimensional supramolecular structure (Fig. 4).

Experimental top

A solution of PPh3(3.04 g, 11.6 mmol) in dichloromethane (20 mL) was added dropwise to a solution of 4-(2-hydroxyethylsulfanyl)-1,3-dithiole-2-thione (1.67 g, 11.6 mmol) and CBr4 (3.84 g, 11.6 mmol), also in dichloromethane (50 mL), over 2 h. The mixture was then stirred for 8 h at room temperature. The resulting solution was washed with water and dried with Na2SO4. The solvent was then evaporated under reduced pressure and the crude product was purified by column chromatography on silica. (dichloromethane:petroleum ether= 2:3) to yield the title compound as yellow solid in 85 % yield. Yellow block-like single crystals were obtained from slow evaporation of a dichloromethane solution at room temperature.

Refinement top

All H-atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with d(C-H) = 0.97 Å, Uiso = 1.2Ueq (C) for CH2 atoms.

Special details top

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes)

are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken

into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles

and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only

used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic)

treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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 > 2sigma(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.
