2-Acetyl-3-bromothiophene (20 g, 0.096 mol) in methanol (50 ml) was mixed with 2,3,5-trichlorobenzaldehyde (9.84 g, 0.048 mol) and the mixture was treated with 30% potassium hydroxide solution (10 ml) at 278 K. The reaction mixture was then brought to room temperature and stirred for 6 h. The precipitate was filtered, washed with water, dried and recrytallized from acetone (yield 65%; m.p. 403–405 K). Elemental analysis found: C 37.81, H, 1.72, S, 10.54%; C19H11Br2Cl3O2S2 requires: C 37.93, H, 1.84, S, 10.66%.
The H atoms were included in the riding model approximation with C—H = 0.95–1.00 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.17–1.28Ueq(C). The maximum residual electron density peaks of 1.11 and -0.62 e Å-3, respectively, were located 0.26 and 0.31 Å from the Br1B and Cl3 atoms.
The title compound, C19H11Br2Cl3O2S2, is a new derivative with potential in the high efficiency photovoltaic cell arena. Crystals of these types play an important role in electronic and photonic industries such as in the production of high efficiency photovoltaic cells, fabrication of bright and long-lasting light emitting diodes [LED] and in liquid crystal displays [LCD] (Tareen & Kutty, 2001). Present day demand is for large and high quality ferroelectric, piezoelectric single crystals with minimum defects and inhomogenities. In continuation of our work on crystal structures of new organic chalcones (Butcher et al., 2006a; 2006b; Butcher, Yathirajan, Sarojini et al., 2006), the title compound, (I), has been prepared and its crystal structure determined.
Molecules of (I) comprise two five-membered 3-bromothien-2-yl rings at each end of a pentane-1,5-dione group with a 2,3,5-trichlorophenyl ring at the 3-position. The angles between the plane of the 2,3,5-trichlorophenyl ring and the two 3-bromothien-2-yl rings are 89.7 (5)° and 63.7 (1)°, respectively, with a dihedral angle of 77.4 (3)° between the latter planes.

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 of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) 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. |

The title compound, C19H11Br2Cl3O2S2, is a new derivative with potential in the high efficiency photovoltaic cell arena. Crystals of these types play an important role in electronic and photonic industries such as in the production of high efficiency photovoltaic cells, fabrication of bright and long-lasting light emitting diodes [LED] and in liquid crystal displays [LCD] (Tareen & Kutty, 2001). Present day demand is for large and high quality ferroelectric, piezoelectric single crystals with minimum defects and inhomogenities. In continuation of our work on crystal structures of new organic chalcones (Butcher et al., 2006a; 2006b; Butcher, Yathirajan, Sarojini et al., 2006), the title compound, (I), has been prepared and its crystal structure determined.
Molecules of (I) comprise two five-membered 3-bromothien-2-yl rings at each end of a pentane-1,5-dione group with a 2,3,5-trichlorophenyl ring at the 3-position. The angles between the plane of the 2,3,5-trichlorophenyl ring and the two 3-bromothien-2-yl rings are 89.7 (5)° and 63.7 (1)°, respectively, with a dihedral angle of 77.4 (3)° between the latter planes.
