The crystal structure of the hydrogen bonded molecular adduct thiobisphthalimide diphenylamine

Abstract

The structure of the complex (PHL)2S. HN(C6H5)2 has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P 1, with unit cell dimensions a = 896. 1, b = 1730. 8, c = 846. 7 pm; α = 88. 66°, β = 115.66°, λ = 93. 98° and Z = 2. In the adduct the thiobisphthalimide molecule is bonded to the diphenylamine through a C=Oż HN hydrogen bonding. UV-visible data reveal some charge transfer between the donor HN(C6H5)2 and the acceptor (PHL)2S.
