Crystal growth,morphology, spectrographic characterization and thermal properties of 4,5‐bis(benzoylthio)‐1,3‐dithiole‐2‐thione

Single crystals of 4,5‐bis(benzoylthio)‐1,3‐dithiole‐2‐thione (BBDT), were grown from methylene chloride and the growth morphology was deduced by the Bravais–Friedel Donnay–Harker (BFDH) model. The grown crystals were characterized by optical absorption, infrared, Raman and X‐ray powder diffraction spectroscopy. The thermal behavior of BBDT has been investigated by means of thermogravimetric analysis and differential thermal analysis measurements in air. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
