Abstract
The sulphenyl chloride, Ph2CNSCl, prepared insitu from Ph2CNSiMe3 and sulphur dichloride, has been employed in the synthesis of Ph2CNSNSO and Ph2CNSNSNSNCPh2 by reaction with Me3SiNSO and Me3SiNSNSiMe3, respectively. An X-ray structural determination of Ph2CNSNSO shows it to consist of a planar cis-trans chain. The crystals are triclinic and belong to the space group[Formula: see text], a = 9.9078(8), b = 10.0967(9), c = 15.1682(14) Å, α = 78.646(7), β = 71.065(7), γ = 63.449(7)°, V = 1281.5(5) Å3, Z = 4. The final R and Rw values were 0.033 and 0.027, respectively. The π* → π* excitation energies for the RSNSO and RSNSS chromophores are compared for different R groups and discussed in the light of MNDO calculations on the model compounds HSNSX (X = S, O). The thermal decomposition of both Ph2CNSNSO and Ph2CNSNSNSNCPh2 produced S4N4 and Ph2CO or (Ph2CN)2S, respectively.
