Abstract
Thiothixeneβ2HCl forms three different hydrates on exposure to water vapour. These have been characterised by X-ray powder diffraction. The dehydration reaction of the monohydrate follows the first-order rate law with Ea = 125(22) kJ mol-1. The dehydration of the tetrahydrate follows a complex mechanism. The crystal structure of the methanol solvate of thiothixeneβ2HCl has been elucidated. It is monoclinic, P21/c, a = 18.870, b = 7.018, c = 21.913 Å, β = 105.622°.
