Butane-1,4-diyl bis(benzenecarbodithioate)

Abstract

The title compound, C18H18S4, which lies on an inversion center, adopts a trans–gauche+–trans–gauche−–trans (tg+tg−t) conformation of the S—CH2—CH2—CH2—CH2—S bond sequence. In the crystal, a π–π interaction with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.8797 (16) Å is observed.
