“…For twoor threecoordinate sulfur compounds, S-Br structural data have been reported wherein S is also bonded to C, Si, N, O, or another S. For the few which appear to contain discrete S-Br bonds, those bond lengths are in the range of 2.162(6)-2.255(5) Á.42•44•48•51-53 (Some of these were gas phase measurements.) The range broadens considerably to 2.136(5)-2.449(3) Á for those compounds which also contain charge transfer, ionic, or other contributory influences on the S-Br bond length.17 [54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61] For \V2SBr, there are no significant intermolecular interactions; the Br The structure of [M02SI3],, is substantially different from that of \V2SBr and from those of the prior molybdenum derivatives, 3. This is true of the M02 dimer portion itself and of the polymeric nature of the S-I-I-I-S link; these two results are presented separately.…”
