Synthese und Struktur von [ImNCS2K] (ImN = 1,3-Dimethylimidazolin-2-imino): ein neuartiges Kaliumdithiocarbiminat

Synthesis and Structure of ImNCS₂K] (ImN = 1,3-Dimethylimidazoline-2-imino): a Novel Potassium Dithiocarbiminate The reaction of the 2-iminoimidazoline 4 with KMe gives the potassium imidate 7 from which the potassium 1,1-dithiolate 8 is obtained in almost quantitative yield. Crystals of C₆H₈N₃S₂K · 1/6 CH₃CN ( 8 · 1/6 CH₃CN) are triclinic, space group P1 , Z = 6, a = 10.988(4), b = 13.597(8), c = 13.622(9) Å, α = 113.003, β = 105.53(3), γ = 105.62(3)°, V = 1636.90 ų. The structure consists of a complicated 3-dimensional framework in which the K₂ units bridged by the four sulfur atoms of two thiolate ligands are connected by nitrogen and sulfur bridges.
