The molecular structure of thioxanthone has been determined from gas electron-diffraction data. The molecular parameter values and their uncertainties are rg(C–C)=1.401±0.001 Å, rg(C–H)=1.099±0.007 Å, rg(C–S)=1.751±0.002 Å, rg(C–Cc)=1.498±0.004 Å, rg(Cc–O)=1.232±0.006 Å, ∠CSC=103.4±0.3°, ∠CCcC=119.4±0.6°, and θ(dihedral angle)=169.0±1.6°, where the angle parameters are rα parameters. The dihedral angle of thioxanthone is much larger than those of related molecules.
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.
