Abstract
The structure of the complex (PHL)2S · HN(C6H5)2 has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P I, with unit cell dimensions a = 896.1, b = 1730.8, c = 846.7 pm; a = 88.66°, β = 115,66°, γ = 93.98° and Z = 2. In the adduct the thiobisphthalimide molecule is bonded to the diphenylamine through a C[dbnd]O ··· HN hydrogen bonding. UV-visible data reveal some charge transfer between the donor HN(C6H5)2 and the acceptor (PHL)2S.
