N,N'-[Dithiobis(O-Phenylene)]Bis(2-Hydroxy-1-Naphthaldimine)

Abstract

The crystal structure of the title compound, 1,1'-[2,2-dithiobis(phenyliminomethyl)]di-2-naphthol, C34H24N2-O2S2, has been determined. Two 2-hydroxy-2-mercapto-phenyl-1-naphthaldimine moieties, which can act as tridentate ligands, are joined by the S atoms. The molecule is not planar and contains intramolecular O ... N hydrogen bonds.
