3-({[(1-Phenyl­eth­yl)sulfan­yl]methane­thio­yl}sulfan­yl)propanoic acid

Abstract

In the title compound, C12H14O2S3, a chain transfer agent (CTA) used in polymerization, the dihedral angle between the aromatic ring and the CS3 grouping is 84.20 (10)°. In the crystal, carb­oxy­lic acid inversion dimers linked by pairs of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate R 2 2(8) loops
