Trithiapentalene's geometry edit

Latest comment: 6 years ago4 comments2 people in discussion

DMacks (talk · contribs) it is my understanding that the geometry of trithiapentalene is also quite similar to that of naphthalene. OrganoMetallurgy (talk) 16:06, 24 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

To a first approximation, "hexagon vs pentagon" are not that similar, except (in this case) that they are flat polygons, and even "regular polygons" seems untrue given your "Need a...more accurate, picture" note at the image. Some combination of "not 120° angles" and "not equal bond-lengths" must be true. I'm on semi-vacation for the next few days, no easy library access. Do you have a ref for its experimental (or else computationally predicted) geometry? DMacks (talk) 20:41, 24 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

Yep, doi:10.3891/acta.chem.scand.27-0411 "The Crystal and Molecular Structure of 6a-Thiathiophthene". OrganoMetallurgy (talk) 21:32, 24 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

(I fixed the doi link). Thanks! Will look soon. DMacks (talk) 22:16, 24 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
