Growing crystals of a trifluoromethylthio substitued aromatic hydrocarbon.

Compounds that contain a trifluoromethylthio group (–SCF3) are found in many pharmaceutical and agrochemical products. Owing to their highlipophilicity and hydrophobicity, aryl trifluoromethylthio-ethers (ArSCF3) have attracted increasing attention from synthetic chemists to develop a efficient, high-yielded, and economical preparation of these molecules.

These crystals were prepared from an aryl thiolate with trifluoromethyl iodomethane (ICF3) what is a highly poisonous, carcinogen gas.
