Abstract

The crystal structures of two polymorphs of thiazine-indigo, C16H10N2O2S2 were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. 7,7′-dimethyl-thiazine-indigo, 7,7′-dimethoxy-thiazine-indigo and 7-monochloro-thiazine-indigo are isostructural to β-thiazine-indigo and 7,7′-dichloro-thiazine-indigo; their structures are refined by Rietveld methods. 7-monochloro-thiazine-indigo shows a head-to-tail-disorder. 6,6′-bis(trifluoromethyl)-thiazine-indigo is not isotypic to any other thiazine-indigo compound. Polymorph screenings were performed; three of the six compounds are polymorphic. In all determined structures the molecules are essentially planar; all molecules are connected by double hydrogen bonds to form parallel chains, but there are three different arrangement of chains. The structures are compared with the chain-structures of other organic pigments like indigo, quinacridone and diketopyrrolopyrrole derivatives.
