Preparation and solid state-structure of a 1,3,5-triazine-bridged tris(1,2,3,5-dithiadiazolyl) complex [N3C3(CN2S2)3]

The preparation and solid-state characterization of the 1,3,5-triazine-bridged tris(1,2,3,5-ditliiadiazolyl) complex 4,4',4''-(2,4,6-(1,3,5-triazinetriyl))tris(1,2,3,5-dithiadiazolyl) [N 3 C 3 (CN 2 S 2 ) 3 ] are described. The crystals belong to the monoclinic space group C2/c, with a=20.759(7) A, b=10.525(3) A, c=17.554(3) A, β=140.18(4) o , fw=390.5, Z=8, and V=2456.2(12) A 3 . The crystal structure consists of layers of interlocked dimers. Alternate layers are oriented in an antiparallel fashion, thereby precluding a stacked structure similar to that found in the related 1,3,5-benzene-based triradical. There are two dimerization environments
