3,3,4,4,5,5-Hexafluoro-1,2-bis-(5-formyl-2-methylsulfanyl-3-thienyl)cyclo-pent-1-ene
Abstract:
In the crystal structure of the title diaryl-ethyl-ene compound, C(17)H(10)F(6)O(2)S(4), the two 3-thienyl substituents are aligned at 44.9 (1) and 40.2 (1)° with respect to the -C-C=C-C- fragment of the central cyclo-pentenyl ring. The five-membered cyclo-pentenyl ring adopts an envelope conformation. The flap atom of this ring and the two F atoms bonded to it are disordered over two positions with occupancies 0.810 (5)/0.190 (5).

Conformations of Cyclohexane
The chair form is the most stable and derives its name from its resemblance to the “easy chair.” In the chair conformation, two carbon atoms are arranged out-of-plane — one above and one below, minimizing the torsional strain. In the chair form, the bond angle is very close to the ideal tetrahedral value,...
