The prominent features in the molecular structure of the title compound (alternative name: 2‐diethyl­carbamoyl‐1,1,3,3‐tetraoxo‐1,3,2‐benzodi­thia­zole), C₁₁H₁₄N₂O₅S₂, arise in the urea moiety S₂N—C(O)—N′C₂: the sum of the angles at N is 332.3 (1)°, the N—C(O)—N′C₂ unit is planar, and distances N—C(O) = 1.494 (3) Å, N′—C(O) = 1.325 (2) Å and C—O = 1.215 (2) Å. The mol­ecules are associated via five C—H?O hydrogen bonds to form layers parallel to the yz plane. This compound and its di­methyl homologue, which were synthesized by treating the silver salt of o‐benzene­disulfon­imide with carbamoyl chlorides, are prone to rapid hydro­lysis at the weak N—C(O) bond. For both mol­ecules, the rotational barrier about the partial N′—C(O) double bond is ca 50 kJ mol^?1 at 250 K (from dynamic ¹H NMR experiments).

On Chalcogenolates. 111. Studies on Perthiocyanic Acid. 4. Crystal and Molecular Structure of Dimethyl Perthiocyanate (CH₃)₂C₂N₂S₃ crystallizes with Z = 4 in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with cell dimensions a = 7.661(4) Å, b = 11.675(5) Å, c = 9.549(5) Å, β = 116.7(3)·. The crystal and molecular structure has been determined from single X-ray data at 20°C and refined to a conventional R of 0.062. The structure consists of isolated 3,5-bis(methylmercapto)-1,2,4-thiadiazole molecules. The 1,2,4-thiadiazole ring is plane and stabilized by mesomerism.
