Abstract
DICINNAMYL disulphide (C6H5.CH.CH.CH2.S.S.CH2.CH.-CH.C6H5) crystallizes in the orthorhombic system as long needles, needle axis being c. The cell dimensions as derived from zero layer Weissenberg photographs are a = 17.42 ± 0.02 Å, b = 34.18 ± 0.02 Å, c = 5.42 ± 001 Å. The density, measured by flotation in aqueous potassium iodide solution, is 1.22 ± 0.01 g/c.c. compared with a theoretical density of 1.228 g/c.c. for 8 molecules/cell. Space group was uniquely determined as Fdd2.
