In the title molecule, C16H22S8O2, two S atoms, two O atoms and ten C atoms form a 14-membered ring with a boat conformation. In the crystal, C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into dimers which are further connected into a chain along the a axis by C—H⋯S hydrogen bonds.

The title compound, (I), was prepared according to literature (Chen et al., 2005) and single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were prepared by slow evaporation a mixture of dichloromethane and petroleum (60–90°C) at room temperature.
Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H 0.96-0.97Å) and were included in the
in the riding model with Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5 Ueq(C).Over the past three decades, chemical groups such as
have been extensively modified on the tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) skeleton (Jeppesen et al., 2003). A series of different type and different ring size TTF crown ether derivatives (containing nitrogen, sulfur and thia-aza atoms), aiming at molecular sensors, switches and wires in which TTF was used as an organic redox-active unit in host–guest system and crown ether was used as the choice of ligand system suitable as an "antenna". In order to get a novel and promising ion sensor, we have designed and synthesized the TTF - crown ether title compound, (I).In the structure (I) (Fig. 1) all bond lengths and angles are normal and comparable with those reported for the related structure (Hou et al., 2009). In the
two molecules form a dimer by C—H···O hydrogen bonds, involving one O atom of the crown ether as acceptors, and the methylene C—H groups as donors (Table 1). The intermolecular C—H···S hydrogen bonds link the dimers into one-dimensional chain along the a axis.Over the past three decades, chemical groups such as

Experimental. (See detailed section in the paper) |
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. |

Over the past three decades, chemical groups such as crown ethers have been extensively modified on the tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) skeleton (Jeppesen et al., 2003). A series of different type and different ring size TTF crown ether derivatives (containing nitrogen, sulfur and thia-aza atoms), aiming at molecular sensors, switches and wires in which TTF was used as an organic redox-active unit in host–guest system and crown ether was used as the choice of ligand system suitable as an "antenna". In order to get a novel and promising ion sensor, we have designed and synthesized the TTF - crown ether title compound, (I).
In the structure (I) (Fig. 1) all bond lengths and angles are normal and comparable with those reported for the related structure (Hou et al., 2009). In the crystal lattice, two molecules form a dimer by C—H···O hydrogen bonds, involving one O atom of the crown ether as acceptors, and the methylene C—H groups as donors (Table 1). The intermolecular C—H···S hydrogen bonds link the dimers into one-dimensional chain along the a axis.
