Abstract The molecular and crystal structure of the title compound, 5‐oxo‐1,3,2,4‐dithiadiazole or Roesky’s ketone ( 1 ), is studied experimentally by re‐determining the crystal structure and theoretically by calculations at the density functional level of theory using an extended basis set. A comprehensive set of properties, consisting of orbital topologies, atomic charges, atomic and molecular dipoles, aromaticity parameters and Fukui functions of the title compound and a number of its constitutional isomers was calculated in order to formulate a description of its structure, its aromaticity and reactivity.
