Arylthiazylamides: syntheses, structures, and bonding properties.

Air-sensitive, thermally unstable tris(dimethylamino)sulfonium (TAS) salts (3) of the title anions [ArNSN]- have been prepared from corresponding sulfurdiimides Ar-N=S=N-SiMe3 (2) by Si-N bond cleavage with [(Me2N)3S]-[Me3SiF2]- (TASF). They are characterized by low-temperature X-ray crystallography as Z isomers. Because of the very short terminal S-N distance (144.2 (3h)-147.9 (3i)pm) and the relatively long internal S-N distance (158.3 (3i)-160.3 (3c) pm) the [ArNSN]- ions should be regarded as thiazylamides 1b, rare species containing a S triple bond N triple bond. A bonding model is developed and the experimental results are compared with those of restricted Hartree-Fock (RHF), density functional theory (DFT), and Møller-Plesset second-order (MP2) calculations.

Planar 1,3lambda4delta2,2,4-benzodithiadiazine and its nonplanar 5,6,7,8-tetrafluoro derivative: gas-phase structures studied by electron diffraction and ab initio calculations.

The gas-phase molecular structures of 1,3lambda4delta2,2,4-benzodithiadiazine and 5,6,7,8-tetrafluoro-1,3lambda4delta2,2,4-benzodithiadiazine have been investigated by ab initio calculations and electron diffraction using the SARACEN method of structural analysis. Important structural parameters (r(h1) structure) for the parent compound were found to be: 1.546(3), r(S-N) 1.697(5), r(C-S) 1.784(5), and r(C-N) 1.393(6) A. For the tetrafluoro derivative, these are (r(h1) structure): 1.552(3), r(S-N) 1.723(8), r(C-S) 1.812(9), and r(C-N) 1.396(7) A. Furthermore, the GED experiment (Gas Electron Diffraction) quite convincingly demonstrates the nonplanarity of the former and the planarity of the latter in agreement with DFT calculations; but the results contradict calculations at the MP2 level. The effect of the fluorine atoms on the conformations of the molecules is discussed.

TAS+(Z)-Me3CNSN- and TAS+(E)-Me3SiNSN-: does the anion-cation interaction influence the configuration?

TAS+ salts (TAS = (Me2N)3S) of the sulfur diimide anions Me3XNSN- (X = C (1a), Si (1b)) were prepared by Si-N bond cleavage from the corresponding sulfur diimides Me3XNSNSiMe3 and TAS-fluoride ((Me2N)3S+Me3SiF2-) and characterized by X-ray crystallography and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. According to the experimentally determined bond lengths and theoretical calculations, the Me3XNSN- anions are best described as thiazylamides Me3X-N-S identical to N rather than sulfur diimides Me3X-N=S=N. In agreement with the calculated and experimentally determined structures of the isoelectronic thionylimides RNSO, 1a adopts the Z-configuration, which is electronically favored due to anomeric effects. The electronically disfavored E-configuration of 1b in the solid state can be explained by weak anion-cation interaction.
