Ethane-1,2-diyl bis(benzenedithioate)

Abstract

In the crystal structure, the title compound, C16H14S4, is located on an inversion center and exhibits a gauche+–trans–gauche− conformation in the S—CH2—CH2—S bond sequence. The S—C=S plane makes a dihedral angle of 30.63 (17)° with the phenyl ring. An intermolecular C—H...π interaction is observed.
