S,S ''-Bis(methoxycarbonylmethyl)dithioglyoxime monohydrate

Abstract

The title compound, dimethyl [1,2-bis(hydroxyimino)ethane-1,2-diyl]dithiodiacetate monohydrate, C8H12N2O6S2.H2O, consists of a polymeric arrangement of molecules linked through O - H ... OW and OW - HW ... O hydrogen bonds. All these hydrogen-bond interactions result in the formation of infinite layers parallel to the (110) plane. The oxime group has an E configuration. The molecule has a twofold axis passing through the mid-point of the central C-C bond. The water molecule is also located on a twofold axis.
