S,S′-Butane-1,4-diyl bis(benzenecarbothioate)

Abstract

The title compound, C18H18O2S2, which lies on an inversion center, adopts a gauche+–trans–trans–trans–gauche− (g+tttg−) conformation in the S—CH2—CH2—CH2—CH2—S bond sequence. In the crystal, molecules are packed in a herringbone arrangement through intermolecular C—H...π interactions.
