Abstract
The title compound has been synthesized by the reaction of α-dithionaphthoic acidwith AgNO_3 in an organic solvent. The single crystals were obtained by recrystallizingfrom pyridine. We obtained two kinds of crystal with different colours (A and B), usingdifferent ratios of silver nitrate and α-dithionaphthoic acid (1:2,1:4) in the reactions. The structures of the two kinds of crystal were determined by a single-crystal X-raydiffraction analysis. The crystal (A) belongs to monoclinic space group C_(2h)~5-P2_1/a withunit cell parameters: a = 22.822(4) A, b = 12.803 (4) A, c = 24.444 (7) A, β = 103.90 (2)°V = 6933.14 A~3, Z = 4. The crystal (B) belongs to monoclinic space group C_(2h)~6-C2/c witha = 29.150 (2) A, b = 12.799 (3) A, c = 24.413 (2) A, β = 130.56 (4)°, V = 6914.38 A~3,Z = 4. Both crystals (A) and (B) have the same molecular configuration, but they havedifferent symmetry. In crystal (B), the molecule possesses a C_2 symmetry. This paperreports the structure determination and parameters of crystal (B). The structure wasrefined to R = 0.093 for 3338 reflections. In the molecule, Ag_4 cluster has a distorted tetrahedral configuration. The six Ag-Agdistances fall into two categories: the four bridged by sulfur, average 2.921 A (2.875-2.972 A), the other two nonbridged, average 3.563 A.
