Trimethyl({tris[(phenylsulfanyl)methyl]silyl}methoxy)silane (3), C26H32OS3Si, is a new ligand for transition-metal coordination chemistry derived from 3-bromo-2,2-bis(bromomethyl)propan-1-ol (1), C5H9Br3O, through silylation and following exchange of bromine groups with NaSPh. Silylated thioether ligand 3 crystallizes in the centrosymmetric space group C2/c. Bromomethylalcohol 1 crystallizes in the space group P\overline{1} in the triclinic crystal system with four molecules in the asymmetric unit. Analysis of the Hirshfeld surface shows structure-defining interactions for bromomethylalcohol 1, resulting in intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the hydroxyl groups along the a-axis direction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
