1,4,7,10-tetraoxacyclododecane-triphenylmethanethiol (1/2).

ABSTRACT

In the centrosymmetric formula unit of the title complex, C8H16O4.2C18H16S, the 1,4,7,10-tetraoxacyclododecane molecule adopts the biangular [66] conformation, and the triphenylmethanethiol molecules are linked to the macrocycle via a long S-H...O hydrogen bond [S...O = 3.460 (2) A and S-H...O = 161 (2) degrees]. Attractive interactions of phenyl groups in edge-to-face conformations combine inversion-related formula units into chains running along the [111] direction in the crystal structure. Association of the chains into sheets is achieved via C-H...pi interactions.
