Abstract
The crystal structure of the triethylammonium salt of 3-carboxymethyl-5-[2-(3-decyl-2-benzothiazolidene)ethylidene]-2-thioxo-4-thiazolidinone was determined by X-ray crystallography. The compound crystallized in a triclinic system, space groups P1 and Z = 2 with cell parameters a = 11.7107(13)Å, b = 15.5659(17)Å, c = 15.9742(17)Å, α = 89.029(2)°, β = 84.925(2)°, γ = 76.510(2)°, V = 2820.4(5)Å3. The crystal structure was refined to final values of R1 = 0.0970 and wR2 = 0.2460. A negative charge assisted hydrogen bond (-)CAHB between the carboxyl groups was found.
