The chemistry of C6S10: a channel structure for C6S10(CS2)0.5 and access to the versatile DMAD·C3S4O (DMAD = dimethylacetylenedicarboxylate)
Abstract
Treatment of (Et4N)2[Zn(C3S5)2] with SO2Cl2 gives molecular C6S10(1), structurally characterized as (1)·(CS2)0.5, which has a channel structure; a two step conversion affords bicyclic tetrathiaindenone OC3S4·C2(CO2Me)2 which is used to make new alkenedithiolate derivatives.
