TL;DR: In this paper, the FT-Raman spectra of polyiodides and of a series of D·I2 chargetransfer complexes, where D is a molecule containing the thione or selone groups as donors, are reported.
Abstract: FT-Raman spectra of some polyiodides and of a series of D·I2 chargetransfer complexes (where D is a molecule containing the thione or selone groups as donors), all characterized by x-ray diffraction, are reported. For the adducts with the thione compounds, which can be considered weak or medium-weak complexes, an empirical linear correlation between the frequency of the v(I-I) stretching vibrations and the d(I-I) bond distances has been found. Some polyiodides show FT-Raman spectra that are indistinguishable with respect to those displayed by the neutral complexes of weak or medium-weak strength; in such cases, the polyiodide can be regarded as a diiodine molecule, perturbed by an In- (n = 1, 3, ...) donor. Polyiodides of this type show Raman absorptions falling in the linear correlation.
TL;DR: I 2 (C 8 H 7 I 4 NS 2 ; I) as mentioned in this paper is obtained from mixtures of N-methylbenzothiazole-2(3H)-thione with molecular diiodine in CH 2 Cl 2 when the solutions were allowed to stand.
Abstract: Solids of stoichiometry 1.2I 2 (C 8 H 7 I 4 NS 2 ; I) and 2.I 2 (C 8 H 7 I 2 NSSe; II) are obtained respectively from mixtures of N-methylbenzothiazole-2(3H)-thione (1) and N-methylbenzothiazole-2(3H)-selone (2) with molecular diiodine in CH 2 Cl 2 when the solutions were allowed to stand. The crystals of I are monoclinic (a=9.445(1) A, b=18.233(2) A, c=18.673(2) A, β=98.62(1) o , Z=4, space group P2 1 /c; R=0.030) and consist of the [(1) 2 I] + cations and I 7 - anions, formed by interaction of I - with three diiodine molecules (short distances ranging between 2.746 and 2.771 A, long distances between 3.237 and 3.260 A)
TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis and characterization of thiones and selones having N,N-disubstituted imidazole are described, which suggest that these compounds exist as zwitterions in which the selenium atom carries a large negative charge.
