Crystal structure of N-(2-{[2,6-bis(2,2,2-trifluoroacetamido)phenyl]disulfanyl}-3-(2,2,2-trifluoroacetamido)phenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoroacetamide

Abstract

The title compound, C20H10F12N4O4S2, is an organic diaryl disulfide compound with trifluoroacetamide substituents at the ortho-positions of each benzene ring. There are two molecules (labeled A and B) in the asymmetric unit. The F atoms of three of the –CF3 groups exhibit rotational disorder over two positions each. The S—S bond distances are 2.0914 (7) and 2.0827 (6) Å for molecules A and B, respectively. The dihedral angle between the S—S—C and S—C—C planes is 103.05 (15)° for molecule A and 104.09 (15)° for molecule B. The three-dimensional supramolecular architecture of the crystal is sustained by numerous N—H...O, N—H...S and C—H...O interactions.
