3,3'-Dibenzoyl-1,1'-(butane-1,4-diyl)-dithio-urea
Abstract:
In the centrosymmetric title compound, C(20)H(22)N(4)O(2)S(2), the carbonyl group forms an intra-molecular hydrogen bond with the NH group attached to the butanediyl linker, resulting in a six-membered ring. There are also inter-molecular C-H⋯S inter-actions in the crystal structure, and π-π inter-actions between phenyl groups [2.425 (3) Å].

Structure of Conjugated Dienes
Conjugated dienes are compounds characterized by the presence of alternating double and single bonds. In a conjugated system like 1,3-butadiene, the unhybridized 2p orbital on each carbon overlaps continuously, allowing the π electrons to be delocalized across the entire molecule. In contrast, this type of overlap does not occur in cumulated and isolated dienes, such as 2,3-pentadiene and 1,4-pentadiene, respectively. Instead, the π electrons remain localized between the double...

π Molecular Orbitals of 1,3-Butadiene
The simplest conjugated diene is 1,3-butadiene: a four-carbon system where each carbon is sp2-hybridized and has an unhybridized p orbital that contains an unpaired electron. According to molecular orbital theory, atomic orbitals combine to form molecular orbitals such that the number...

Stability of Conjugated Dienes
A comparison of the enthalpies of hydrogenation of dienes reveals that conjugated dienes release less heat on hydrogenation, rendering them more stable than their nonconjugated analogs.
