Dimethylphenylsulfonium trifluoromethanesulfonate and methyldiphenylsulfonium trifluoromethanesulfonate
Abstract
The bonding geometry of sulfur in the cations of the title compounds, C8H11S+·CF3SO3− and C13H13S+·CF3SO3−, respectively, is similar and is independent of the ratio of the Me/Ph substituents. As expected, in both cations, the S—Ph bonds are somewhat shorter than the S—Me bonds. In both crystal structures, the interaction between cations and anions is similar.
