2,5-Bis[(3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,8-tridecafluorooctyl)sulfanyl]-1,3,4-thiadiazole

Abstract

The title compound, C18H8F26N2S3, was obtained by doubleS-perfluorohexylethylation of dipotassium 1,3,4-thiadiazole-2,5-dithiolate in methanol. The molecule exhibits twofold rotational symmetry, with the S atom lying on the rotation axis. The fluorocarbon chains adopt helical conformations and the F atoms of the two terminal C atoms are disordered over two sets of sites. No directional intermolecular interactions occur in the crystal.
