Two isostructural 9-thiophenanthrene derivatives, 9-dodecylthiophenanthrene, C26H34S, (I), and 9-tetradecylthiophenanthrene, C28H38S, (II), are reported. They crystallize in the monoclinic space group P21/c with four molecules in a unit cell. The S-Cphenanthrene bonds are 1.767 (2) and 1.772 (4) Å and S-Calkyl bonds are 1.809 (2) and 1.804 (4) Å for (I) and (II), respectively. The bond angles at S are 104.04 (11) and 104.0 (2)° for (I) and (II), respectively.

The 9-alkylthiophenanthrenes were prepared from 9-bromophenanthrene, KOH and alkylthiol in dimethylformamide according to the previously reported procedure (Sipilä & Hase, 1996). The side product dialkyldisulfide was removed by flash chromatography and the crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by recrystallization from ethanol.
The Laue class and extinction rules in compound (II) indicated clearly the space group P21/c and it was possible to solve the structure. In this solution, however, the alkyl chains were exactly overlapping, but at the opposite directions. Thus the phenanthrene groups, including the S atoms, had an occupancy factor of 0.5. When the structure was solved in the space group P1 with two molecules in an asymmetric unit, molecular packing was similar to that of compound (I). One of those two molecules was then removed, the monoclinic symmetry operations were added again and the remaining molecule showed to possess a correct location. However, the torsion angles revealed it to be in the inverted position compared to (I).
For both compounds, data collection: CAD-4 EXPRESS (Enraf-Nonius, 1994); cell refinement: CAD-4 EXPRESS; data reduction: WinGX (Farrugia, 1998); program(s) used to solve structure: SHELXTL/PC (Sheldrick, 1990); program(s) used to refine structure: SHELXL93 (Sheldrick, 1993); molecular graphics: SHELXTL/PC; software used to prepare material for publication: SHELXL93.

Special details top
Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement on F2 for ALL reflections except for 5 with very negative F2 or flagged by the user for potential systematic errors. Weighted R-factors wR and all goodnesses of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The observed criterion of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating _R_factor_obs etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Special details top
Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement on F2 for ALL reflections except for 10 with very negative F2 or flagged by the user for potential systematic errors. Weighted R-factors wR and all goodnesses of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The observed criterion of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating _R_factor_obs etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

In the connection of our studies concerning 9-thioderivatives of phenanthrene (Kansikas & Sipilä, 1997; Sipilä et al., 1999) two new compounds with a long straight alkyl chain were synthesized and characterized by X-ray analysis. The long, colourless needles of 9-dodecylthiophenanthrene, (I), and 9-tetradecylthiophenathrene, (II), have melting points of 347 (1) K and 350 (1) K, respectively. They are measured in open capillary tubes with an electrothermal apparatus and are uncorrected. The present compounds are isostructural with the earlier reported 9-alkylthiophenanthrenes [alkyl = ethyl, (III), propyl, (IV) and butyl, (V)] (Kansikas & Sipilä, 1997). Among these structures the b axis lengthening, from 20.644 (9) to 38.696 (2) Å, is nearly linear; 1.5 Å increase per one added C atom in the alkyl chain. The molecular packing is presented in Figs. 2 and 4, which show tubular channels through the phenanthrene rings in the c axis direction and a herringbone pattern when viewed along the a axis. However, the phenanthrene planes are tilted so that there is no perpendicular stacking overlap between the successive molecules as seen in Fig. 4. The angles between the phenanthrene group and the ab, ac and bc planes are 119.3 (1), 78.0 (1) and 34.7 (1)° for (I) and 119.1 (1), 78.1 (1) and 34.7 (1)° for (II).
The phenanthrene groups in the adjacent sheets form an interplanar angle of 69.0 (1)° for (I) and 69.3 (1)° for (II). Both molecules are nearly planar. The phenanthrene group comprises three planes formed by rings 1 (C1, C2, C3, C4, C4a, C10a), 2 (C4a, C4b, C8a, C9, C10, C10a), and 3 (C4b, C5, C6, C7, C8, C8a). The planar alkyl chains C12–C23 for (I) and C12–C25 for (II) form a fourth plane. Within the phenanthrene groups the interplanar angles are: 1.36 (12) and 1.53 (22)° for 1,2; 0.76 (12) and 0.91 (23)° for 1,3 and 1.00 (12) and 0.95 (22)° for 2,3. The fourth plane through the alkyl chains form the angles of 3.67 (11) and 3.94 (20)° with the rings 2 for compounds (I) and (II), respectively.
We have earlier studied the structures of 9-phenylthiophenanthrene, (VI), and 9 − t-butylthiophenanthrene, (VII) (Sipilä et al., 1999). In these compounds the substituents deviate from the phenanthrene planes. Various bonding parameters, involving the S atom, of compounds (III)–(VII) are here compared to those obtained for (I) and (II). The bond angles C9–S–C12 are between 104.0 (1) and 104.5 (1)° for the aliphatic substituents and 102.1 (1)° for the phenyl group. The molecular geometry can be described by the values of the torsion angle C10–C9–S–C12, which range from −0.1 (2) to 5.9 (2)° in the straight-chain molecules, but are 92.1 (1) and 91.7 (1)° for (VI) and (VII), respectively. Bond lengths S–C9 are 1.767 (2), 1.772 (4), 1.765 (7), 1.764 (2), 1.766 (3), 1.779 (2) and 1.777 (2) Å for compounds (I)–(VII). They are normal S bond distances to the aromatic C atom, as is also the S–C value of 1.769 (2) Å for the phenyl group in (VI). The S bond distances S–C12 to the straight-chain alkyl groups are longer, ranging from 1.794 (4) to 1.806 (2) Å for the compounds (I)-(V), while in (VII) it is 1.861 (2) Å.
