A novel disulfide-containing aniline, 8-dihydro-1H,4H-2,3,6,7-tetrathia-anthracen-9-ylamine (5) was synthesized.The single-crystal X-ray analysis of 4 indicates that the molecular has a non-planar structure, with its four sulfur atoms out of the plane of benzene ting. The designed molecular has the advantage of high theoretic specific capacity and reversibility,[1,2] when it is to be polymerized and used as the cathode material of the secondary lithium batteries.……
