1-Methyl-1H-tetrazoline-5-thione (1) reacts with iodine in CHCl 3 with formation of 1:1 stable r-complex (logb = 3.8 ± 0.1 is found by spectrophotometry). In the ethanol solution irreversible oxidation with formation of disulfide product 5,5 0 -dithiobis(1-methyl-1H-tetrazole) (2) is observed. The structure of (2) was determined by X-ray diffraction. Strong intermolecular interactions with shortened contacts are observed between sulfur atom of disulfide bridge and heterocyclic nitrogen of the neighboring molecule (SÁÁÁN 3.0179(15) Å ) forming infinite supramolecular chains which are further linked with p-p stacking interaction of tetrazole rings (interplane distance is 3.1685(6) Å ).
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.
