Di-trichloracetimid; IR-Spektrum und Kristallstruktur/Di-trichloroacetimide; IR Spectrum and Crystal Structure

Abstract

Di-trichloroacetimide, HN(COCCl3)2. was prepared by the reaction of trichloroacetic acid with trithiazylchloride at 60 °C. The compound was characterized by its IR spectrum as well as by an X-ray structure determination: Space group P 1, Z = 2, 1662 observed independent reflexions, R = 0.034. Lattice dimensions at 17 °C: a = 640.9(2); b = 924.1(3); c = 943.0(2) pm; α = 92.11(2)°; β = 106.53(3)°; γ = 99.02(3)°. The compound forms the Z,Z(trans-trans)isomer. There is no intermolecular hydrogen-bonding.
