The title compound, C16H12Br2F2S2 [systematic name: 12,15-dibromo-52,55-difluoro-2,7-dithia-1,5(1,4)-dibenzenaocta­phane], has two approximately parallel benzene rings with a dihedral angle of 1.53 (15)° between them and with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.3066 (18) Å. In the crystal structure, mol­ecules are stacked along the a axis through an inter­molecular ππ inter­action with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.7803 (18) Å. Mol­ecules are also connected by a C—H⋯S inter­action, forming a chain along the b axis.

Comment top

The aromatic-aromatic ππ interaction is an important phenomena in organic reactions (Korenaga et al., 2007). The structural and electronic properties of these derivatives result from the characteristic interactions between the two π-electron systems. Substituents in the benzene rings can significantly effect the ππ interaction. In the compound [3,3]paracyclophane, we explored the intramolecular ππ interaction between the two benzene rings. In the crystal structure, intermolecular ππ and non-classical hydrogen bonding interactions link the molecule, in which they seem to be effective in the stabilization of the structure.

Experimental top

The title compound was prepared according to the method reported previously (Wang et al., 2006; Xu et al., 2008). A solution with equimolar amounts of (2,5-difluoro-1,4-phenylene)dimethanethiol and 1,4-dibromo-2,5-bis(bromomethyl)benzene in degassed THF (500 ml) was added dropwised under N2 over 12 h to a refluxing solution of potassium carbonate (5equiv) in EtOH (1.2L). After an additional 2 h at the reflux temperature 363 K, the mixture was cooled and the solvent were removed. The resulting residue was treated with CH2Cl2 (300 ml) and water (300 ml). The organic phase was separated, the aqueous extracted with CH2Cl2 three times. The combined organic layers was dried over Na2SO4, Then solvent was removed, and the resulting solid was chromatographed on silica gel using CH2Cl2/petroleum ether (1:1, v/v) as eluent. The product was further purified by recrystallization from toluene.

Refinement top

All H atoms were initially located in a difference map, and then were constrained to an idealized geometry (C—H = 0.93 or 0.97 Å). The isotropic displacement parameters were set to Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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.
