A reaction of silanethiol and primary amine leads to a product whose crystals are built of well-defined supermolecules--assemblies of four ammonium silanethiolate units (RS(-)H(3)N(+)R)(4) with a novel, unusual 3D hydrogen bond pattern.

Intramolecular interactions in crystals of tris(2,6-diisopropylphenoxy)silanethiol and its sodium salts.

Hydrolytically stable silanethiol tris(2,6-diisopropylphenoxy)silanethiol (TDST) has been synthesized and reacted with sodium metal. In solid state TDST exhibits π-interactions between the S-H unit and the π-system of the arene, replaced by cation-π interactions in its sodium salts. The interactions are documented by crystal structures and FT-IR spectroscopy.

(μ2-4,4′-Bipyridyl-κ2N:N′)bis­[bis­(tri-tert-butoxy­silanothiol­ato-κ2S,O)cadmium(II)] tetra­hydro­furan disolvate

The structure of the title compound, [Cd2(C12H27O3SSi)4(C10H8N2)]·2C4H8O, consists of discrete molxadecules, with the two halves of the molxadecule related to each other by an inversion centre. Each Cd atom is coordinated by two S atoms, two O atoms and one N atom. The geometry of each Cd atom is interxadmediate between square-pyramidal and trigonal-bipyramidal. Two (tri-tert-butoxyxadsilanothiolxadato)cadmium units are linked via one 4,4′-pyridyl ligand, forming an isolated molxadecule of the complex. Molxadecules of the tetrahydrofuran solvent are positioned above and below the plane of the 4,4′-bipyridyl.

(μ‐4,4′‐Bipyridyl‐κ2N:N′)bis[bis(tri‐tert‐butoxysilanethiolato‐κ2S,O)cadmium(II)] toluene disolvate

The structure of the title compound, [Cd2(C12H27O3SSi)4(C10H8N2)]·2C7H8, consists of discrete molxadecules, with the two halves of the complex molxadecule related to each other by inversion symmetry. Two (tri-tert-butoxyxadsilanothiolxadato)xadcadmium units are bridged through the 4,4′-bipyridyl ligand. The geometry of the CdII atoms is interxadmediate between square-pyramidal and trigonal-bipyramidal. The solvent toluene molxadecules pack in the voids between the mid-point of the 4,4′-bipyridine and the tert-butyl groups of an adjacent complex. There is disorder in the 4,4′-bipyridine molxadecule, with site occupancies of 0.506u2005(7):0.494u2005(7).

2-Hydroxypropanammonium benzenethiolate

The asymmetric unit of the title compund, C3H10NO+·C6H5S−, contains two benzenoxadthiolxadate anions and two 2-hydroxypropanammonium cations. The ions are linked into sheets of R24(8), R24(11) and R24(14) rings by a combination of N—H⋯S, O—H⋯S and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

Di­cyclo­hexyl­ammonium benzene­thiol­ate

The title compound, C12H24N+·C6H5S−, has been obtained by the reaction of C6H5SH with dixadcycloxadhexylxadamine. The two ionic fragments are linked together in long chains by ⋯N—H⋯S⋯ hydrogen bonds. There are two formula units in the asymmetric unit.

Bis(di-n-propyl­amine-κN)bis­(tri-tert-butoxy­silanethiol­ato-κS)chromium(II)

The title compound, [Cr(C12H27O3SSi)2(C6H15N)2], is a molecular chromium(II) thiolate that is coordinated by two dipropylamine ligands in a square-planar environment. The molecule lies on an inversion site.

Sperminium bis(tri-tert-butoxysilanethiolate)–2-propanol (1/2)

The title compound, C10H28N42+·2C12H27O3SSi−·2C3H8O, has been obtained by the reaction of (tBuO)3SiSH with spermine in the presence of 2-propanol. The sperminium cation sits on an inversion centre at the mid-point of the central C—C bond. The three species are linked together in infinite chains, mainly by N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds.

Diamminebis(tri-tert-butoxy­silanethiolato)cadmium(II) acetonitrile solvate

The title compound, [Cd(C12H27O3SSi)2(NH3)2]·C2H3N, is a molxadecular heteroleptic cadmium thiolxadate with two ammine ligands and contains a tetraxadhedrally coordinated CdII ion with an S2N2 environment. All ammine H atoms and one of the H atoms of the acetonitrile methyl group participate in the formation of intra- and interxadmolecular hydrogen bonds, which link adjacent molxadecules into infinite chains.

Bis(3,5-dimethyl-pyridine-κN)bis-(tri-tert-butoxy-silanethiol-ato-κS)chromium(II) toluene solvate.

In the title chromium silanethiolate, [Cr(C12H27O3SSi)2(C7H9N)2]·C7H8, the CrII atom is coordinated by two S and two N atoms in a distorted square-planar geometrical arrangement. The mononuclear molecule lies on a twofold axis that passes through the pyridine N atoms. The toluene solvent molecule is equally disordered about a twofold axis.
