Gas-crystal photoreaction: the structures of 4,4'-dimethoxy(thiobenzophenone) (I), C15H14O2S, and 4,4'-bis(dimethylamino)thiobenzophenone (II), C17H20N2S

(I): M r = 258.34, triclinic, Pi, a = 9.810 (3), b=9.635(3), e=15.015(4)A, a=79.11(2), #= 102.38 (3), y = 107.76 (3) o, V= 1308.5 A 3, Z = 4, Din= 1.318 (3) (by flotation in KI solution), D x = 1.311 g cm -3, Cu Ka, 2 = 1.5418/~, g = 20-05 cm -1, F(000) = 544, T---- 293 K, R = 0.074 for 2663 reflections. (II): M r = 284.43, monoclinic, P2~/c, a= 17.029 (5), b=6.706 (5), c= 14.629 (4), t= 113.55 (2) ° , V=1531.4A 3, Z=4, Dm=1.230(5) (by flotation in KI solution), Dx= 1.234gem -3, Mo Ka, 2 = 0.7107 A, g = 1.63 cm-1; F(000) = 608, T= 293 K, R = 0.062 for 855 reflections. The orientation of the C=S chromophores in the crystal lattice and their reactivity in the crystalline state are discussed. The C--S bonds are much shorter than the normal bond length [1.605 (4) (I), 1.665 (8) A (II) cf. 1.71 A].

4-Biphenylyl phenyl thioketone (I), C19H14S, and 1-naphthyl phenyl thioketone (II), C17H12S

(I): Mr=274"39, orthorhombic, Pbca, a = 7.443 (1), b= 32.691 (3), c= 11.828 (2)A, V= 2877.98A 3, Z=8, Din= 1.216 (flotation in KI), D x = 1.266 g cm -3, /~(Cu Ka, 2 = 1.5418 A) = 17.55 cm -1, F(000) = li52.0, T= 293 K, R = 6.8%, 1378 significant reflections. (II): M r = 248.35, orthorhombic, P212~21, a = 5.873 (3), b = 13.677 (3), c = 15-668 (5) A, V = 1260.14 A 3, Z = 4, D,n = 1.297 (flotation in KI), Dx= 1.308 g cm -a, /t(CuKa, 2=1.5418 A) = 19.55 cm -~, F(000) = 520.0, T= 293 K, R = 6.9%, 751 significant reflections. Crystals of (I) and (II) undergo photo-oxidation in the crystallinestate. In (I) the dihedral angle between the phenyl rings of the biphenyl moiety is 46 (1) °. The C=S bond length is 1.611(5) A in (I) and 1.630 (9)/~ in (II). The correlation between molecular packing and reactivity is discussed.
