4-Aminophenylsulfur pentafluoride

Abstract

In the title compound, C6H6F5NS, the environment of the S atom is roughly octahedral. The axial F—S bond appears slightly elongated with respect to the four equatorial F—S bonds. Equatorial F atoms are staggered with respect to the benzene ring. The N atom is displaced from the benzene plane by 0.154 (4) Å. The F—S—C—C torsion angles differ greatly from the values observed in the related structure of 4-acetamidophenylsulfur pentafluoride. The packing is stabilized by weak N—H...F contacts.
