The reactions of 1 methylimidazoline 2 thione and its chemical oxidation product, viz., 2,2´ dithiobis(1 methylimidazolin 2 yl) diiodide, with molecular iodine were studied by UV Vis spectroscopy. The crystal and molecular structure of the compound of composition [(C 3 H 2 N 2 )(HCH 3 )S] 2 (I 3 ) 2 I 2 was established by X ray diffraction. In the crystal structure, the dica tions and the triiodide anions form mixed stacks, between which iodine molecules are located. The dications, anions, and iodine molecules are linked by numerous intermolecular interactions to form three dimensional supramolecular associates.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
