Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C12H9NO2S4, contains one half-mol­ecule with the N, two S amd four C atoms lying on a mirror plane. The mol­ecule exhibits a V-shaped conformation, with a dihedral angle of 87.00 (7)° between the benzene and dithiol­opyrrole rings. The methyl group was treated as rotationally disordered between two orientations in a 1:1 ratio. In the crystal, weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into chains in [010].

Comment

Pyrrolo-annulated tetrathiafulvalenes, an important class of electron-donors, are versatile building blocks in supramolecular and materials chemistry (Becher et al., 2004). As a key precursor to the pyrrolo-annulated tetrathiafulvalenes, 5-Tosyl-5H-[1,3]dithiolo[4,5-c]pyrrole-2-thione, has attracted great attention (Hou et al., 2010). In this paper, we report the crystal structure of the title compound (I).

The asymmetric unit of (I) contains a half of the molecule situated on a mirror plane (Fig. 1). All bond lengths and angles are in the normal ranges and comparable with the reported ones (Hou et al. 2009). Atom N1 has a flattened pyramidal environment with the sum of bond angles of 356.9 (2) °. The benzene ring and dithiolopyrrole ring form a dihedral angle of 87.00 (7) °. In the crystal, the intermolecular C—H···O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into chains along b direction.

Experimental

The title compound was prepared according to the literature (Jeppesen et al., 2000). Single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were prepared by slow evaporation a mixture of dichloromethane and petroleum (60–90 °C) at room temperature.

Refinement

C-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H 0.93 and 0.96 Å) and were included in the refinement in the riding model with Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5 Ueq(C). The methyl group was treated as rotationally disordered between two orientations in a ratio 1:1.

Special details

Experimental. (See detailed section in the paper)
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.
