Preparation and solid state characterization of 4,4′-bis(1,2,3,5-dithiadiazolyl)

Abstract

The reaction of oxamidrazone with sulfur dichloride affords 4,4′-bis(1,2,3,5-dithiadiazolium) dichloride, which can be reduced with triphenylantimony to the corresponding bis(1,2,3,5-dithiadiazolyl) diradical; the solid state structure and transport properties of the dimer [S2N2CCN2S2]2are reported.
