Abstract
The title compound, C30H28N2S16, is a precursor to hybrid magnetic materials. The complete molecule is generated by a crystallographic inversion centre. In the crystal structure, the TTF core is not planar and adopts a chair conformation; the two C3S2 rings are folded around the S⋯S hinges, the dihedral angles being 17.14 (8) and 13.46 (7)°. There is a short S⋯S contact [3.4863 (14) Å] in the crystal structure.

Comment
To date the search for solids presenting two physical properties such as magnetism and electrical conductivity inside a same material has expanded greatly, particularly with materials involving tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) derivatives well known to provide conducting and even superconducting salts (Williams et al., 1992; Yagubskii,1993; Sakata et al., 1998: Fabre, 2002). To introduce a magnetic network, involving localized spins, inside such conducting salts, a particularly promising way is to build a coordination complex between a transition metal (Cu, Co ···) and a pyridine or bipyridine moiety bonded to a TTF core (Setifi et al., 2003; Liu et al., 2003; Boudiba et al., 2005). Following this strategy we synthesized the title precursor: bi-TTF(bipyridine) 1 and studied its crystal structure to verify if the molecular geometry could allow a subsequent easy formation of the target coordinating complex. The molecular structure is shown in Fig. 1. A s expected two TTF cores bearing methylsulfanyl substituents are connected by a bipyridine spacer. The molecule lies on a crystallographic centre of symmetry located at the centre of the bipyridine moiety, the asymmetric unit is thus composed of half a molecule. As a result the bipyridine spacer is in the trans conformation. The TTF cores deviate strongly from planarity and take a chair conformation. The two C3S2 rings are folded around the S···S hinges: the central group S3/S4/C5/C6/S5/S6 is planar and the external planes S3/S4/C3/C4 and S5/S6/C7/C8 make dihedral angles of 17.14 (8)° and 13.46 (7)° respectively. There is a short S⋯S contact [3.4863 (14) Å] in the crystal structure.
Experimental
The bi-TTF(bipyridine) 1 was synthesized (37% yield) by using a double Wittig coupling reaction (Ikeda, 1993; Gonzalez, 2000) between two appropriate formyl-TTF units and 4,4'-bis(methyltripenylphosphonium)-2,2'-bipyridinedibromide previously obtained as described in the literature (Doria, 1986). Red crystals (m.p.: 158°C) of 1 were obtained as thin platelets by slow evaporation of a solution of 1 in a mixture of dichloromethane-acetonitrile.
Refinement
H atoms were located in a difference map then positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with C—H distances set to 0.96 Å (sp3) and 0.93 Å (sp2), and Uiso(H) egal to 1.2 times the equivalent Uiso of the atom of attachment.

| Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
| Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R-factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |
