Bis(methylsulfonyl)methane

“…1), the two central C-S bond distances [1.781 (2) Å and 1.789 (2) Å] are very close to those reported by Glidewell et al (1995) for (PhSO 2 ) 2 CH 2 [1.786 Å], but smaller than the corresponding distances in the (PhSO 2 ) 2 CBr 2 [1.863 Å] and (PhSO 2 ) 2 CI) 2 [1.854 Å], respectively. This fact could be attributed due to the large size of halogen atoms Br and I relative to the hydrogen atom in the prepared molecule.…”

“…The overall conformation is close to the corresponding conformations reported for similar compounds (Berthou et al, 1972;Glidewell et al, 1995).…”

Bis(4-methoxyphenylsulfonyl)methane: a Three-Dimensional Network Generated by Short C—H...O Hydrogen Bonds

“…The C--O C angles are both significantly greater than tetrahedral and the methyl C atoms lie almost in the plane of the adjacent ring, with the exocyclic O--C---C angles cisoid to the methoxy substituents much larger than 120 ° and those transoid much smaller: similar features were also observed in tris(4-methoxyphenyl)methanol (Ferguson, Glidewell & Patterson, 1996). The remaining bond lengths and angles are typical of those found previously in bis-sulfones of this type (Glidewell, Lightfoot & Patterson, 1995;Glidewell et al, 1996).…”

“…3). Thus, there are two-dimensional nets parallel to both (100) and (010) which together form It is appropriate to compare the three-dimensional intermolecular aggregation in (I) with the one-dimensional aggregation in the simpler analogue (PhSO2)2CH2: this was not discussed in the original structure report (Glidewell, Lightfoot & Patterson, 1995), but it again depends solely upon C--H..-O hydrogen bonds• In (PhSO2)2CH2, one of the central C--H bonds and a neighbouring aromatic C--H bond in the molecule at (x, y, z) both act as donors to the same sulfone O atom in the molecule at (-1 ÷x, y, z), forming C(4) and C(7) chains parallel to [100] as well as R~ (7) rings, which combine to yield a C(4)C(7)[R1 (7)] chain-ofrings (Bernstein et al, 1995). The other central C--H bonds in the molecule at (x, y, z) acts as donor to a sulfone O atom at (1-x, -y, 1-z), so forming a centrosymmetric R~(8) ring: the R~(8) rings act as the rungs of a ladder whose uprights are pairs of the [100] chains.…”
