title: Short intramolecular S...O interactions in S-substituted 2-mercaptoacetophenones.
abstract: The non-bonded S...O intramolecular interactions in the title compounds 2-(phenylthio)acetophenone [IUPAC: 2-[2-(phenylsulfanyl)phenyl]ethanone], C(14)H(12)OS, and 2-(benzylthio)acetophenone [IUPAC: 2-[2-(benzylsulfanyl)phenyl]ethanone], C(15)H(14)OS, are unusually short, indicating the contribution of heterocyclic oxathiole-type resonance structures to the overall bonding.
