Crystal structure of 7,8,15,16,17-pentathiadispiro[5.2.59.36]heptadecane

A dispiro compound bearing two cyclohexyl moieties and a central sulfur-rich seven-membered ring was re-synthesized and newly crystallized. The modified synthetic procedure, the compound’s purification and characterization and the crystal structure – which is only the second of its kind – including non-classical hydrogen-bonding interactions are reported and discussed.
