Abstract
Cyclo-bisoxalyldecasulfur, S10(CO)4, is monoclinic:P21/n,a = 7.812(2),b = 7.273(2),c = 12.570(7) Å, β = 91.33 ° (4), andZ = 2. The structure was solved by direct methods from 942 nonequivalent four-circle diffractometer data and refined by least-squares methods toR(F) = 0.104 andR w(F) = 0.065. The mean S-S distance is 2.051 Å. The molecule is stabilized by intramolecular contact distances shorter than the sum of the van der Waals radii. The two S-(C-O)-C groups are planar, with an angle of 15 ° between them.
