Crystal structure of a clathrate formed by a mercapto-analogue of Dianin's compound
Abstract
An X-ray diffraction analysis of the CCl4 clathrate of the mercapto-host (II) is described; a key feature of the host structure is the linking of the SH groups of six molecules of (II) by SH ⋯ S hydrogen bonds, such that the sulphur atoms form a near-planar hexagon.
