Phenyl[2,4,6-tris(1-methylethyl)phenyl]methanethione and 4-Methoxyphenyl[2,4,6-tris(1-methylethyl)phenyl]methanethione

The two title compounds, C₂₂H₂₈S and C₂₃H₃₀OS, respectively, have almost identical molecular structures, but different crystal structures. The two parts of each molecule are approximately perpendicular to each other, with S...γH distances of 3.06 and 3.02 Å, respectively, suitable for H-atom abstraction in photochemical reactions.
