“…While 9 crystallizes as E/Z, both phenyl rings are almost orthogonal, torsions of 85.9(3)° and 85.4(3)°, relative to the NSN moiety, presumably due to steric pressure from the large ortho ‐bromine substituents. This is a rare configuration, only otherwise observed in bis (2,4,6‐ tri ‐ tert ‐butylphenyl)sulfurdiimide (CSD refcode: BEQHEK), [35] which also contains very bulky ortho substituents. Aside from these two cases, every example from the CSD of aryl SDIs with at least one ortho substituent crystallize as Z/Z, as does 8 [13b,33, 35–36] .…”
