Methyl­ene bis­(dithio­benzoate)

Abstract

In the title compound, C15H12S4, two phenyl­dithio­carboxyl­ate units are linked through a methyl­ene C atom on a twofold rotation axis. The central S—CH2—S angle of 116.9 (5)° is significantly larger than the ideal tetra­hedral value. The dihedral angle formed by the two phenyl rings is 68.2 (1)°. The refined Flack parameter of 0.2 (3) does not permit unambiguous determination of the absolute structure
