5,8-Dibromo-14,15,17,18-tetramethyl-2,11-dithia[3.3]paracyclophane

Abstract

In the title molecule [systematic name: 12,15-dibromo-52,53,55,56-tetramethyl-3,7-dithia-1,5(1,4)-dibenzenacyclooctaphane], C20H22Br2S2, the distance between the centroids of the two benzene rings is 3.326 (4) Å, and their mean planes are almost parallel, forming a dihedral angle of 1.05 (7)°. The crystal packing exhibits no intermolecular contacts shorter than the sum of van der Waals radii.
