N-Bromo-S-(4-nitrophenyl)-S-phenylsulfimide

The title compound, C12H9BrN2O2S, the first crystal structure of an N-halosulfimide, adopts a syn conformation about the S=N bond, with a Br—N—S—C(phenyl) torsion angle of −54.64 (17)°. The dihedral angle between between the phenyl and 4-nitrophenyl rings is 65.04 (14)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C—H...Br, C—H...N and C—H...O interactions, forming a tape structure along the c axis
