2,2′-Bithiophene-3,3′-dicarbonitrile

Abstract

The complete molecule of the title compound, C10H4N2S2, is generated by an inversion center situated at the mid-point of the bridging C—C bond. The bithiophene ring system is planar [maximum deviation = 0.003 (2) Å] and the central C—C bond length is 1.450 (2) Å. There are no significant intermolecular interactions in the crystal structure, which is stabilized by van der Waals interactions.
