Crystal structure analysis of the isomeric N,N′-bis(pyridin-n-ylmethyl)ethanedithioamides, n = 2 (1), 3 (2) and 4 (3), show a planar conformation for 1 and conformations whereby the pyridyl rings lie orthogonal and to either side of the central residue for each of 2 and 3. The universal adoption of...
