Abstract
The homocyclic S11 and S13 molecules have been synthesized from titanocenepentasulfide and S6Cl2 or S8Cl2, respectively, and obtained as yellow crystals which are metastable for several days at 20 °C. X-Ray structural analyses of single crystals at -105± 5 °C exhibited molecules of approximately C2 symmetry with bond distances (d), bond angles (a) and torsional angles (r) in the following ranges: S11 : d = 203.2 -211.0 pm, α = 103.3-108.6°, τ = 69.3 - 140.5°; S13: d = 197.8 - 211.3 pm, α = 102.8-111.1°, τ = 29.5 - 116.3°. Infrared and Raman spectra of S11 and S13 are reported. In addition, the synthesis of S6Cl2 and S8Cl2 from S6 or S8, respectively, and chlorine is described.
