Di-ethyl 2,2′-(tris--ulfane-1,3-di-yl)dibenzoate

摘要

The title compound, C18H18O4S3, was synthesized in the presence of chlorido-auric acid from 3H-1,2-benzodithiole-3-thione as starting material. The asymmetric unit comprises one half of the mol-ecule, the complete mol-ecule being generated by the application of twofold rotation symmetry. The two benzene rings are inclined by 81.0?(2)°. In the crystal, slipped?π–π?stacking inter-actions are observed between the benzene rings of neighbouring mol-ecules.
