Abstract

The single crystal architecture of the high-symmetry octathio[8]circulene and sym-tetraselenatetrathio[8]circulene is studied at the density functional theory (DFT) level with the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIMs) approach to the electron density distribution analysis. The presence of stabilizing intermolecular C---C, C---S and C---Se contacts in the longitudinal and transversal projections of the single crystals is postulated on the grounds of the previous high-resolution X-ray data for octathio[8]circulene; it is supported by the present QTAIM calculations and also predicted in some new details for both circulenes. We suggest that the appearance of the observed red color for the monocrystalline octathio[8]circulene is caused by strong intermolecular interactions between the molecules in the single crystal. However, the intermolecular interactions for the sym-tetraselenatetrathio[8]circulene crystal fragment are weaker and molecular layers are more friable in comparison to octathio[8]circulene crystal structure. These lead to the absence of visible absorption for the sym-tetraselenatetrathio[8]circulene crystal.
