“…Their thermodynamic stability apparently comes from localization of the positive and negative charges on the NÐCÐN and SÐCÐS moieties, respectively. The most remarkable structural characteristic of these compounds is that the planes of the CS 2 and CN 2 groups are almost perpendicular (Sheldrick et al, 1980;Ziegler et al, 1987;Borer et al, 1989;Kuhn et al, 1987;Nagasawa et al, 1995;Nakayama et al, 2000). We report here the characteristic molecular conformation of the title compound, (I), in the solid state ( Fig.…”
