5-(2-Pyridyl)-1,3-dithiane-2-thione

Abstract

The title compound, C9H9NS3, crystallizes with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. In both molecules, the dithiane-2-thione rings adopt a symmetric half-boat conformation with the C atom opposite the C--S(thione) bond out of the plane. The pyridine ring is in an equatorial position and is twisted out of the plane of the half-boat by 82.7 (2) and 84.5 (2) degrees in the two molecules, so that the N atom is trans to the axial C--H bond in both cases.

Stepwise construction of mono-, di- and tri-nuclear 2 ? 1, 1 ? 2, 2 ? 3 ligand ? mixed-metal complexes using a bis-tridentate bridging ligand

“…The EPR spectra obtained for the series have been compared to those for the structurally analogous monomeric complexes [Cu(phdpa)(dmf ) 2 ](ClO 4 ) 2 14 and [Cu(dpa)(bipy)](ClO 4 ) 2 10 in order to assist in the separation of spectroscopic features of the copper based moieties in the dinuclear copper and trinuclear copper ruthenium complexes. EPR spectra of the di-and trinuclear complexes in frozen MeOH/dmf (3 : 1) and MeOH/ water Redox activity based on the copper ions, ruthenium ion and tpbd ligand is feasible for the trinuclear complexes, potentially bipy-based redox chemistry is also possible.…”
