Bis[2-(1,3-benzothia-zol-2-ylsulfan-yl)eth-yl] ether
Abstract:
The complete molecule of title compound, C(18)H(16)N(2)OS(4), is generated by crystallographic twofold symmetry, with the O atom lying on the rotation axis. The dihedral angle between the ring systems is 80.91 (2)°. In the crystal, adjacent mol-ecules are connected through π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.882 (2) Å], forming a three-dimensional network.

Structure and Nomenclature of Ethers
Ethers are organic compounds with an ether functional group which is characterized by an oxygen atom connected to two — identical or different — alkyl, aryl, or vinyl groups. The C–O–C linkage in dimethyl ether — the simplest ether — has an approximately tetrahedral bond angle of 110.3 degrees. The oxygen atom is sp3- hybridized, with the C–O distance being about 140 pm.

Nomenclature of Aromatic Compounds with a Single Substituent
Nomenclature of Aromatic Compounds with Multiple Substituents
For disubstituted benzene derivatives, with two groups attached to the benzene ring, three constitutional isomers are possible. For example, consider dimethyl benzene, often called xylene, where the second methyl group can be substituted at the second, third, or fourth carbon. The relative position of the substituents is represented by prefixes ortho, meta, or...
