Abstract

The "naked" ternary thiazyl dichloride anion NSCl2- (see picture) is surprisingly stable and can be isolated on a macroscopic scale when a large counteraction is present. The structure was determined by X-ray diffraction and compared with theoretically obtained data. The unequivocal identification was supported by Raman, IR, and 14N/15N NMR spectroscopic studies. The structure and bonding are discussed on the basis of MO and NBO analysis.
