1996) and we are now studying their potential biological activity. In order to correlate chemotherapeutic properties with structure, we have started a long-aim project regarding the crystal structure determination of new 3H-1,2-dithiole-3-thione derivatives, of which the title compound, (7), is a part.

AbstractThe title compound, C12H12S4, crystallizes in Pi with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit labelled (A) and (B). In both molecules, the phenyl and 3H-1,2-dithiole-3-thione rings are almost perpendicular to each other, the main difference being the position of the ethyl group which lies in the same plane as the heterocyclic ring in (A) but points outwards in (B). The crystal packing is governed by short S.--S interactions.

AbstractFour 9-alkylthiophenanthrenes, namely, 9-methylthiophenanthrene, C15H12S, (1), 9-ethylthiophenanthrene, C16H14S, (2), 9-propylthiophenanthrene, C17H16S, (3) and 9-butylthiophenanthrene, CI8H18S, (4), have been characterized by X-ray analysis. Compound (1) crystallizes in space group P2~ with two molecules, and the other three compounds, in a novel display of isostructurality, in space group P21/c, with one molecule per asymmetric unit.
