Dodecyl 2-nitrophenyl disulphide

Abstract

Do­decyl 2-nitro­phenyl disulphide, C18H29NO2S2, contains an intramolecular S⋯O contact of 2.623 (3) Å. The angle between the planes of the NO2 group and the attached phenyl ring is 4.2 (3)°. The thermal vibrations of the atoms increase along the paraffinic chain. The nitro­so O atom not involved in the S⋯O intramolecular contact also has high thermal motion. Attempts to create disordered models to allow for the thermal motions were unsuccessful.
