Novel bonding geometry and valence tautomerism of 4-(N,N-dimethyldithiocarbamato)-2-dimethyliminio-1,3-dithietane tetraphenylborate, [Me2NCS2·CH·S2CNMe2]+Ph4B–
Abstract
A ring-opening/ring-closing tautomerism in solution of the title compound is deduced from the temperature dependence of the 1H NMR spectra; the molecular structure found by X-ray crystal analysis is favourably oriented for this tautomerism.
