The gas-phase structure of bis(fluorosulfonyl)difluoromethane, (SO2F)2CF2

New synthetic pathways and the infrared spectrum of bis(fluorosulfonyl)difluoromethane, (SO₂F)₂CF₂, are reported. The geometric structure and conformational properties of the title compound have been studied by gas electron diffraction. Depending on the rotational position of the two SO₂F groups, four conformers with different symmetries can occur in this compound: C_2v symmetry, if both S? F bonds stagger the CF₂ group. C₂ or C_s symmetry, if one S?O bond of each group staggers the CF₂ group.

Contributions to the Thermal Behaviour of Sulfates. II. On the Thermal Dehydration of ZnSO₄ · 7 H₂O and the Effect of High Temperature upon Anhydrous ZnSO₄ The dehydration of ZnSO₄ · 7 H₂O and effect of high temperature upon unhydrous ZnSO₄ was examined by means of continous high temperature Guinier photographs. On heating in air ZnSO₄ · 7 H₂O decomposes stepwise to ZnSO₄ · 6 H₂O, to an unknown hydrate, to the monohydrate and finally to N? ZnSO₄, which is the thermodynamically stable modification at S.T.P.

Piaselenol—Piaselenolium—Pentaiodid (C6H4N2Se · C6H5N2Se+I3− · I2), eine Struktur mit Polyiodid-schichten

Piaselenole—Piaselenolium—Pentaiodide (C₆H₄N₂Se · C₆H₅N₂Se⁺ I₃^? · I₂), a Structure with Polyiodide Layers The title compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 9.320(3), b = 13.812(2), c = 17.159(3) Å, β = 96.11(2)°, V = 2196.3 ų, Z = 4. There occur no isolated I^5? anions but layer-shaped polyiodide aggregates built up by linear, asymmetric I₃^? anions and I₂ molecules. Almost linear triiodide chains are connected by I₂ molecules in a novel type of arrangement to form slightly puckered layers. The polyiodide layers contain several substructures known from other examples. The piaselenole and its conjugated acid, the piaselenolium cation, form a ribbon-like quasi-polymer in which the two components are alternating. They are connected in turns by a linear NH? N hydrogen bridge (N? N: 2.844 Å) and by a so called (SeN)₂-connectivity parallelogram, in which Se? N bonds and Se? N contacts are adjacent. Here we found a very short Se? N contact distance of 2.691 Å. The bond distances of piaselenole (Se? N: 1.787(3) Å, N? C: 1.318(5) Å, C? C: 1.453(8) Å) and also the angles are equal or similar to those occuring in other 1,2,5-selenadiazoles. The protonation of one N in the SeN₂ unit results in a loss of symmetry and significant changes in bonding distances and angles.
