“…A mean sulfur-sulfur bond length of 2.075 (6) A and a mean CSSC dihedral angle of 106"3 ° were found in the X-ray crystallographic structure determination of the complex cyclo-di-tu-{bis- [2-(N,N-dimethylamino)ethyl]-disulfide}dicopper(I) tetrafluoroborate (Ottersen, Warner & Serf, 1973a). This bond length differs significantly from those usually found in aliphatic disulfides with dihedral angles near to 90 ° (Hordvik, 1966;Lee, 1972;Lee & Bryant, 1970;Lee & Bryant, 1969aOttersen, Warner & Serf, 1973b). The sulfur-sulfur bond lengths reported for dicinnamyl disulfide (lee & Bryant, 1971) and dibenzyl disulfide (Lee & Bryant, 1969b; van Dijk & Visser, 1971) are 2.01 (1) and 2.02 (1) A, with CSSC dihedral angles of 66.4 and 92.1 °, respectively.…”
