Description:
The title 1:1 solvate, C14H10O4S2·C3H7NO, features a twisted molecule of 2,2′-dithiodibenzoic acid (DTBA), with the central C—S—S—C torsion angle being −88.57 (6)°, and a molecule of dimethylformamide (DMF). The carboxylic acid groups are, respectively, close to co-planar and twisted with respect to the benzene rings to which they are connected as seen in the CO2/C6 torsion angles of 1.03 (19) and 7.4 (2)°. Intramolecular, hypervalent S←O interactions are noted [S...O = 2.6140 (9) and 2.6827 (9) Å]. In the crystal, four-molecule aggregates are formed via DTBA-O—H...O(DMF) and DTBA-O—H...O(DTBA) hydrogen bonding, the latter via an eight-membered {...OHCO}2 homosynthon. These are linked into supramolecular layers parallel to (011) via benzene-C—H...O(DTBA) and DTBA-C=O...π(benzene) interactions, with the connections between these, giving rise to a three-dimensional architecture, being of the type benzene-C—H...π(benzene). An analysis of the calculated Hirshfeld surfaces indicates, in addition to the aforementioned intermolecular contacts, the presence of stabilizing interactions between a benzene ring and a quasi-π-system defined by O—H...O hydrogen bonds between a DTBA dimer, i.e. the eight-membered {...OCOH}2 ring system, and between a benzene ring and a quasi-π(OCOH...OCH) system arising from the DTBA-O—H...O(DMF) hydrogen bond. The inter-centroid separations are 3.65 and 3.49 Å, respectively.
