title: High-pressure Fourier transform micro-Raman spectroscopic investigation of diiodine-heterocyclic thioamide adducts.
abstract: The pressure dependences of the Fourier transform micro-Raman spectra of four heterocyclic thioamides [[(bztzdtH)I2] x I2] (1) (bztzdtH = benzothiazole-2-thione), [(bztzdtH)I2] (2), [[(tzdtH)2I+] x I3- x 2I2] (3) (tzdtH = thiazoline-2-thione), and [[(bzimtH)I2]2 x I2 x 2H2O] (4) (bzimtH = benzimidazole-2-thione) have been studied between ambient pressure and 50 kbar. For 1, generation of I3- ions through disproportionation reactions is evident as the pressure is increased. There are empirical linear correlations between the frequency and (I-I) bond length and the applied pressure. The iodine adduct of thioamide 2 is more sensitive to pressure when compared to the 1 or 4 iodine adducts. This difference in behavior may be attributed to differences in crystal structures or to a lower I-I bond order. Monitoring of other vibrational transitions of the thiomide structure reveals several less important pressure dependences.
