The title compound, C22H22O2S2, 1, represents an example of an ortho-vanillinbased functionalized dithioether, which could be useful as a potential chelating ligand or bridging ligand for coordination chemistry. This dithioacetal 1 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca. The phenyl rings of the benzyl groups and that of the vanillin unit form dihedral angles of 35.38 (6) and 79.77 (6)°, respectively. The crystal structure, recorded at 100 K, displays both weak intramolecular O--H…O and intermolecular O--H…S hydrogen bonding. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The polymeric title compound, [Cu2(C2H3N)2(C3H6S2)2](PF6)2, represents an example of a one-dimensional coordination polymer resulting from the reaction of [Cu(MeCN)4][PF6] with 1,3-dithiolane. The cationic one-dimensional ribbon consists of two copper(I) centers each ligated by one acetonitrile molecule and interconnected through two bridging 1,3-dithiolane ligands. One S-donor site of each ligand is κ¹-bound to Cu, whereas the second S atom acts as a four-electron donor, bridging two Cu atoms in a κ4-bonding mode. The positive charge of each copper cation is compensated for by a hexafluoridophosphate counter-ion. In the crystal, the polymer chains are linked by a series of C--H ⋯F hydrogen bonds, forming a supramolecular framework. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
