RESUMO
The reaction between [TBA]2[Zn(dmit)2] and 3-chloro-2,4-penta-nedione yielded single crystals of the title compound, (3E,3'E)-3,3'-[(2-sulfanylidene-1,3-dithiole-4,5-diyl)bis(sulfanediyl)]bis(4-hydroxypent-3-en-2-one), C13H14O4S5, after solvent evaporation. The title compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P with two mol-ecules related by an inversion center present in the unit cell. The central thione ring moiety contains a carbon-carbon double bond covalently linked to two sulfoxide substituents located outside of the plane of the ring. The S-C-C-S torsion angles are -176.18â (8) and -0.54â (18)°. Intra-molecular hydrogen bonds occur within the two dione substituents (1.67-1.69â Å). Adjacent asymmetric units are linked by C-Hâ¯S (2.89-2.90â Å), Sâ¯S [3.569â (1)â Å] and Oâ¯H [2.56-2.66â Å between non-stacked thione rings] short contacts.
