The Crystal Structure of Bis(2-chlorophenyl) Disulfide

Abstract

The crystal structure of bis(2-chlorophenyl) disulfide has been determined and refined to a residual of 0.035 for 1573 observed reflections. Crystals are monoclinic, space group P2₁/a with Z 4 in a cell of dimensions a 7.724(1), b 22.360(7), c 7.917(2) Å , β 114. 75º. The two chlorophenyl rings are synclinally related with a torsion angle of -85.0 º down the disulfide bond vector.
