dl-2,4-Bis(phenylthio)pentan-3-one and dl-2,4-bis(2,6-dimethylphenylthio)pentan-3-one at 173K

Crystals of dl-2,4-bis(phenylthio)pentan-3-one, C₁₇H₁₈OS₂, are orthorhombic (Iba2). Despite cell parameters that appear orthorhombic, crystals of dl-2,4-bis(2,6-dimethylphenylthio)pentan-3-one, C₂₁H₂₆OS₂, are monoclinic (P2₁/n) and refine as two twinned components (57/43%) that mimic an orthorhombic lattice.
