Abstract:
THE TITLE COMPOUND [SYSTEMATIC NAME: N,N-dieth-yl({[(diethyl-carbamothio-yl)sulfan-yl]selan-yl}sulfan-yl)carbothio-amide], C(10)H(20)N(2)S(4)Se, crystallizes in a new form in the space group Pca2(1): the previously reported polymorph crystallizes in the space group P2(1)2(1)2(1). The new phase contains two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The Se atoms are tetra-coordinated, with a distorted square-planar geometry. The ligands coordinate asymmetrically to the Se atoms, with one strong Se-S bond [range 2.2833 (13)-2.3041 (15) Å] and one weaker bond [range 2.7318 (14)-2.7873 (12) Å].

Radicals: Electronic Structure and Geometry
Accordingly, the structure of a trivalent radical lies between the geometries of carbocations and carbanions. An sp2-hybridized carbocation is trigonal planar, while an sp3-hybridized carbanion is trigonal pyramidal. Here, the difference in geometry is...
Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the unhybridized p...
