The title compound, C7H3F5INS, a pentafluorosulfanyl (SF5) containing arene, was synthesized from 4-(pentafluorosulfanyl)benzonitrile and lithium tetramethylpiperidide following a variation to the standard approach, which features simple and mild conditions that allow direct access to tri-substituted SF5 intermediates that have not been demonstrated using previous methods. The molecule displays a planar geometry with the benzene ring in the same plane as its three substituents. It lies on a mirror plane perpendicular to [010] with the iodo, cyano, and the sulfur and axial fluorine atoms of the pentafluorosulfanyl substituent in the plane of the molecule. The equatorial F atoms have symmetry-related counterparts generated by the mirror plane. The pentafluorosulfanyl group exhibits a staggered fashion relative to the ring and the two hydrogen atoms ortho to the substituent. S—F bond lengths of the pentafluorosulfanyl group are unequal: the equatorial bond facing the iodo moiety has a longer distance [1.572 (3) Å] and wider angle compared to that facing the side of the molecules with two hydrogen atoms [1.561 (4) Å]. As expected, the axial S—F bond is the longest [1.582 (5) Å]. In the crystal, in-plane C—H...F and N...I interactions as well as out-of-plane F...C interactions are observed. According to the Hirshfeld analysis, the principal intermolecular contacts for the title compound are F...H (29.4%), F...I (15.8%), F...N (11.4%), F...F (6.0%), N...I (5.6%) and F...C (4.5%).
The reaction between [TBA]2[Zn(dmit)2] and 3-chloro-2,4-pentanedione yielded single crystals of the title compound, (3E,3′E)-3,3′-[(2-sulfanylidene-1,3-dithiole-4,5-diyl)bis(sulfanediyl)]bis(4-hydroxypent-3-en-2-one), C13H14O4S5, after solvent evaporation. The title compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P\overline{1} with two molecules related by an inversion center present in the unit cell. The central thione ring moiety contains a carbon–carbon double bond covalently linked to two sulfoxide substituents located outside of the plane of the ring. The S—C—C—S torsion angles are −176.18 (8) and −0.54 (18)°. Intramolecular hydrogen bonds occur within the two dione substituents (1.67–1.69 Å). Adjacent asymmetric units are linked by C—H...S (2.89–2.90 Å), S...S [3.569 (1) Å] and O...H [2.56–2.66 Å between non-stacked thione rings] short contacts.
The title ferrocene derivative, [Fe(C5H5)2(C8NO2)], including an alkyne bonded to a para-nitrophenyl substituent, which was synthesized from a copper-free Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction between ethynylferrocene and 4-bromo-1-nitrobenzene, crystallizes in the P21/n space group. In the ferrocene unit, the pentadienyl (Cps) rings are in an eclipsed conformation. The angle of rotation between the substituted cyclopentadienyl ring and the p-nitrophenyl group is 6.19 (10)°, yielding a quasi-linear extension of the ferrocenyl substitution. Important intermolecular interactions arise from π–π stacking between the Cp rings and the p-nitrophenyl, from corners of the Cp rings that are perpendicularly aligned, and between the O atoms from the nitro substituent and carbons at the corners of the Cp rings, propagating along all three crystallographic axes.
