The title compound, C16H10S2, is a further example of a 3,3′-bridged 2,2′-dithiophene. As in comparable members of this series of compounds, the monoatomic 3,3′-bridge constrains the tricyclic heterocyclic ring system to be essentially planar with, in this case, an S—C—C—S torsion angle of 2.3 (4)°.
Comment
The title compound, (I), was synthesized with a view to investigating its potential as a ligand. A search of the Cambridge Structural Database (Allen, 2002), accessed by means of the Chemical Database Service of the EPSRC (Fletcher et al., 1996), revealed, however, the presence of known structures for a number of 3,3′-bridged 2,2′-dithiophenes, (II)–(VI) (Koster et al., 1970; Pilati, 1995) analogous to (I). It is in relation to these, especially the series (II)–(VI) described by Pilati (1995), that the structure of (I) is discussed here.
The molecule of (I) is shown in Fig. 1 and selected bond lengths and angles are given in Table 1. In addition to the values given in the Table, and noting the C5—C6—C7 angle of 104.19 (19)°, the remaining internal C—C—C angles of the five-membered rings are in the range 108.3 (2)–112.4 (2)°. The C—C—S internal angles, in the range 112.15 (17)–113.09 (19)°, show less variation. The bond lengths and angles in the phenyl group in the ranges 1.380 (3)–1.395 (3) Å and 118.0 (2)–121.5 (2)°, respectively, are unexceptional. The torsion angles about the C1—C2 bond are a clear indication of the planar nature of the dithiophene ring system. The torsion angles about the C10—C11 bond, on the other hand, indicate a tilt of the phenyl group relative to the dithiophene group which amounts to a dihedral angle between their least squares planes of 44.38 (6)°.
A feature of the molecule of (I) is the difference between the S1—C1 and S2—C2 bond lengths [1.712 (2) and 1.711 (2) Å, respectively] and the S1—C9 and S2—C3 bond lengths [1.734 (3) and 1.727 (3) Å, respectively]. Pilati (1995) has noted a similar disparity in S—C bond lengths, in the same sense for (II) and, although less marked, for (III) but in the opposite sense for (IV)–(VI) (see Table 2). Also evident from the torsion-angle data given in Table 2 is the planarity of the dithiophene ring system in the case of (II) and (III), now along with (I), which is not the case for (IV)–(VI). It is clear, therefore, that the monoatomic 3,3′ bridge in (I)–(III) as opposed to the polyatomic bridges in (IV)–(VI) is the key factor in creating the structural differences between the two classes of compound and is largely independent of the nature of the species providing the monoatomic bridge.
The molecules of (I) are found in layers parallel to (100) (Fig. 2) within which there are two significant intermolecular contacts. The first of these is a π–π interaction arising from the overlap of the dithiophene ring systems in pairs, creating interactions involving the rings with centroid Cg1 defined by C1/C2/C5–C7. For this interaction, Cg1⋯Cg1iii [symmetry code: (iii) −x, y, −z + ], the distance between the ring centroids, the perpendicular distance of the centroid of one ring to the least-squares plane of the other ring of the pair and the lateral displacement or slippage of the rings relative to one another are 3.829, 3.467 and 1.625 Å, respectively. The second interaction is a C—H⋯π contact of the form C8—H8⋯Cg2i where Cg2 is the centroid of the ring defined by C2/S2/C3–C5 [symmetry code: (i) −x + , y − , −z + ]. Here the C—H, H⋯Cg, the perpendicular distance of the H atom from the l.s. plane of the ring and the C⋯Cg distances are 0.95, 2.750, 2.706 and 3.650 Å, respectively, and the C—H⋯Cg angle is 158°. Stacking of these layers in the direction of a produces a further π–π interaction between pairs of phenyl rings, C11–C16 with centroid Cg3, of the form Cg3⋯Cg3ii (Fig. 3) [symmetry code: (ii) −x + , −y + , −z] for which the distance between the ring centroids, the perpendicular distance of the centroid of one ring to the least-squares plane of the other ring of the pair and the lateral displacement or slippage of the rings relative to one another are 3.617, 3.607 and 0.269 Å, respectively.
Experimental
To a solution of 4H-cyclopenta[2,1-b:3,4-b′]dithiophene (2.0 g, 11.2 mmol), (II) (Kraak et al., 1968), in Et2O (25 ml) at 273 K was added dropwise by syringe a solution of BuLi (11.3 mmol) in hexane. The reaction mixture was stirred at 273 K for 1 h after addition was complete. A solution of PhCHO (1.3 g, 12 mmol) in Et2O (10 ml) was then slowly added. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 20 min., saturated aqueous NH4Cl solution (30 ml) added, the organic layer collected, washed with water and dried over MgSO4, and rotary evaporated. The residue was recrystallized successively from EtOH and MeCN. The orange-red crystals used in the X-ray determination were grown slowly from MeCN solution (m.p. 408–410 K).

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. |
