The molecular framework of the title compound, C11H6I2OS8, is almost planar [maximum deviation = 0.057 (5) Å] except for the two methylsulfanyl groups, which are twisted relative to the molecular skeleton, with C—C—S—C torsion angles of 49.74 (22) and 82.91 (21)°. In the crystal, molecules are stacked alternately in opposite orientations, forming a one-dimensional column along the b axis. The interaction between adjacent columns is accomplished through S⋯S [3.4289 (5) Å], S⋯I [3.4498 (4) Å] and O⋯I [2.812 (2) Å] contacts.

Compound (I) was synthesized by a modification of the method used for the preparation of bis(methylsulfanyl)tetrathiafulvalenoquinone-1,3-dithiolemethide (Iwamatsu et al., 1999). Bis(tetraethylammonium)bis(2,3-bis(methylsulfanyl)tetrathiafulvalenyl-6,7- dithiolato)zinc (269 mg, 0.258 mmol) was reacted with 4,5-diiodo-2-methylsulfanyl-1,3-dithiole-2,3-dithiolium tetrafluoroborate (535 mg, 1.10 mmol) in THF-DMF (5:1 = v/v,) at room temperature under nitrogen and stirring for 12 h. After separation of the reaction mixture by
on silica gel (eluent: CS2) followed by recrystallization from CS2/n-hexane, bis(dimethylsulfanyl)tetrathiafulvalenothioquinone- 4,5-diiodo-1,3-dithiolemethide (II) was obtained as a dark-green needles in 72% yield. When compound (II) (87 mg, 0.127 mmol) was reacted with mercury(II) acetate (90 mg, 0.282 mmol) in THF-AcOH (5:1 =v/v), compound (I) was obtained as a dark-red plates in 47% yield by recrystallization from CS2/n-hexane.The H atoms were geometrically placed with C-H = 0.98Å, and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C).
New donor molecules featuring a skeleton of tetrathiafulvalenoquinone-1,3-dithiolemethide are used for the preparation of charge transfer (CT) salts with magnetic metal anions (Matsumoto et al., 2002a,b, 2003; Hiraoka et al., 2007; Sugimoto 2008). In CT salts these molecules can form unique crystal structures with channels in addition to the usual layer stacking structures as a result of their molecular skeletons and intermolecular S···S contacts. The introduction of iodide atoms as substituents in the molecular skeleton is expected to enhance intermolecular interaction through the formation of S···I and O···I heteroatom contacts. These contacts are of special interest in these structures as they may increase the dimensionality of aggregation in the solid-state. In this connection, the
of the title compound, (I), was investigated.The molecular framework of (I), Fig. 1, except for two methylsulfanyl groups, is almost planar. The displacements of atoms S7, S8, I1, and I2 relative to the plane of the skeleton are 0.2056 (17), 0.230 (2), -0.1867 (15) and -0.1274 (18) Å, respectively. The torsion angles of the two methylsulfanyl groups are -49.74 (22)° for C11—S8—C9—S6 and -89.91 (21)° for C10—S7—C8—S5.
In the
the molecules are alternatively stacked in opposite orientations to form a one-dimensional column along the a axis (Fig. 2). Stacked molecules are separated by interplanar distances greater than 3.54 Å and have fairly poor overlap. However, some effective side-by-side contacts are observed between molecules of adjacent columns. The interaction between adjacent columns is accomplished through contacts between different sulfur atoms [S2···S8i = 3.4289 (5) Å] along the b axis, between sulfur and iodide atoms [S7···I2ii = 3.4498 (4) Å] along the c axis, and between oxygen and iodide atoms [O1···I1iii = 2.812 (2) Å] along the b axis; i: -1/2+x, 1/2-y, -1/2+z; ii: 1+x, y, 1+z; and iii: 1/2+x, -1/2-y, 1/2+z. These distances are shorter than the sum of corresponding van der Waals radii, i.e. 3.60 Å for S···S, 3.78 Å for S···I and 3.32 Å for O···I (Bondi, 1964). An interesting feature of this structure is the fairly shorter intermolecular O···I contacts. Such strong oxygen-halogen interactions have been observed previously (Groth & Hassel, 1965; Etter, 1976a,b). The intermolecular angles are 124.20 (19)° for C5=O1···I1 and 176.17 (10)° for O1···I1—C2 are fairly close to the ideal geometry (120° for C=O···I and 180° for O···I—C) which has been proposed for these types of associations (Leser & Rabinovich, 1978).For background to tetrathiafulvalenoquinone-1,3-dithiolemethide derivatives, see: Matsumoto et al. (2002a,b; 2003); Hiraoka et al. (2007); Sugimoto (2008). For the synthesis, see: Iwamatsu et al. (1999).

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. |

New donor molecules featuring a skeleton of tetrathiafulvalenoquinone-1,3-dithiolemethide are used for the preparation of charge transfer (CT) salts with magnetic metal anions (Matsumoto et al., 2002a,b, 2003; Hiraoka et al., 2007; Sugimoto 2008). In CT salts these molecules can form unique crystal structures with channels in addition to the usual layer stacking structures as a result of their molecular skeletons and intermolecular S···S contacts. The introduction of iodide atoms as substituents in the molecular skeleton is expected to enhance intermolecular interaction through the formation of S···I and O···I heteroatom contacts. These contacts are of special interest in these structures as they may increase the dimensionality of aggregation in the solid-state. In this connection, the crystal structure of the title compound, (I), was investigated.
The molecular framework of (I), Fig. 1, except for two methylsulfanyl groups, is almost planar. The displacements of atoms S7, S8, I1, and I2 relative to the plane of the skeleton are 0.2056 (17), 0.230 (2), -0.1867 (15) and -0.1274 (18) Å, respectively. The torsion angles of the two methylsulfanyl groups are -49.74 (22)° for C11—S8—C9—S6 and -89.91 (21)° for C10—S7—C8—S5.
In the crystal structure, the molecules are alternatively stacked in opposite orientations to form a one-dimensional column along the a axis (Fig. 2). Stacked molecules are separated by interplanar distances greater than 3.54 Å and have fairly poor overlap. However, some effective side-by-side contacts are observed between molecules of adjacent columns. The interaction between adjacent columns is accomplished through contacts between different sulfur atoms [S2···S8i = 3.4289 (5) Å] along the b axis, between sulfur and iodide atoms [S7···I2ii = 3.4498 (4) Å] along the c axis, and between oxygen and iodide atoms [O1···I1iii = 2.812 (2) Å] along the b axis; symmetry operation i: -1/2+x, 1/2-y, -1/2+z; ii: 1+x, y, 1+z; and iii: 1/2+x, -1/2-y, 1/2+z. These distances are shorter than the sum of corresponding van der Waals radii, i.e. 3.60 Å for S···S, 3.78 Å for S···I and 3.32 Å for O···I (Bondi, 1964). An interesting feature of this structure is the fairly shorter intermolecular O···I contacts. Such strong oxygen-halogen interactions have been observed previously (Groth & Hassel, 1965; Etter, 1976a,b). The intermolecular angles are 124.20 (19)° for C5=O1···I1 and 176.17 (10)° for O1···I1—C2 are fairly close to the ideal geometry (120° for C=O···I and 180° for O···I—C) which has been proposed for these types of associations (Leser & Rabinovich, 1978).
