Structural characteristics are reported for two thio-ether-ketones, Dtdpe and Mtdp [2-({2-[(2-oxo-2-phenyl-eth-yl)sulfan-yl]eth-yl}sulfan-yl)-1-phenyl-ethan-1-one, C18H18O2S2, and 2-[(2-oxo-2-phenyl-eth-yl)sulfan-yl]-1-phenyl-ethan-1-one, C16H14O2S], and for related derivatives, the bis-(pyridyl-hydrazones) Dhpk and Prpsb [2-((2E)-2-{(2Z)-2-phenyl-2-[2-(pyridin-2-yl)hydrazin-1-yl-idene]ethyl-idene}hydrazin-1-yl)pyridine, C18H16N6, and 2-[(2Z,12Z)-3,12-diphenyl-14-(pyridin-2-yl)-5,10-di-thia-1,2,13,14-tetra-aza-tetra-deca-2,12-dien-1-yl]pyridine, C30H32N6S2], as well as for the macrocyclic thio-carbohydrazide derivative Ctrsp [(3E,8Z)-3,9-dimethyl-1,11-di-thia-4,5,7,8-tetra-aza-cyclo-tetra-deca-3,8-diene-6-thione, C10H18N4S3]. Three of the five compounds exhibit conformational enanti-omerism in the solid state. The occurrence of intra- and inter-molecular hydrogen bonding is commented upon through quantum mechanical (DFT) calculations. Weak C-H⋯S inter-actions are noted, while stronger N-H⋯N and N-H⋯S hydrogen bridges are delineated.

Ethers from Alcohols: Alcohol Dehydration and Williamson Ether Synthesis
Ethers can be prepared from organic compounds by various methods. Some of them are discussed below,
Preparation of Ethers by Alcohol Dehydration
In this method, in the presence of protic acids, alcohol dehydrates to produce alkenes and ethers under different conditions. For example, in the presence of sulphuric acid, dehydration of ethanol at 413 K yields ethoxyethane, whereas it yields ethene at 443 K.
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.
