Description

The X-ray structure analysis of arenecarbochalcogenoic acids (ArCOEH and ArCEOH, E = S, Se, Te) is successful for 4-MeC6H4COSH for the first time, which reveals that the syn-conformer forms a planar cyclic dimer with two S–H···O=C hydrogen bonds in the solid state. Density functional theory calculations are performed for benzenecarbochalcogenoic acids (C6H5COEH and C6H5CEOH), the tetrahydrofuran (THF)-solvated acids, and the cyclic dimers of the acids. It is suggested that arenechalcogenol acids (ArCOEH) form cyclic dimers in the solid state, although Della Védova and co-workers reported that catemeric hydrogen-bonding chains are observed for the crystal structures of selenoacetic acid (MeCOSeH). Calculations demonstrate that arenecarbochalcogenoic acids exist predominantly as chalcogenoxo tautomers (ArCEOH) in polar solvents such as THF especially at low temperatures, unlike the solid-state cases, which are consistent with several experimental results.
