Abstract:
The behavior of 8-mercaptoquinoline, which is a potential antithyroid drug toward molecular iodine was investigated. The ability of 8-mercaptoquinoline to form the outer-sphere charge-transfer complex C9H7NS·I2 with iodine molecular in dilute chloroform solution has been studied by UV/vis spectroscopy (lgβ=3.14). The crystal structure of the new salt 8-(quinoline-8-yldisulfonyl)quinolinium triiodide - product of irreversible oxidation of 8-mercaptoquinoline was determined by X-ray diffraction. Intramolecular hydrogen bond of N-H⋯N type is presented in the organic cation. The triiodide ion is the nearly centrosymmetrical anion. The 8-(quinoline-8-yldisulfanyl)quinolinium cations form dimers through π-π-stacking interaction between quinolinium rings. The reduced intramolecular interactions are observed between iodine - sulfur atoms and iodine-hydrogen atoms with shortened contacts (less of sum of van-der-waals contacts).

However, the stretching absorptions for the C=O bond vary depending on the structure of carboxylic acids. The C=O bond of the free carboxylic acids shows a higher stretching frequency, 1760 cm−1, while H-bonded carboxylic acids (dimers) exhibit stretching absorptions at a lower frequency, 1710 cm−1. The C=O bond of the...
