Abstract

There are two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C19H24S2. In both mol-ecules, the aliphatic segment of the ligand is in an all-trans conformation: the -S-(CH 2)5-S-bridging chain is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation for all non-H atoms = 0.0393 and 0.0796 Å in the two mol-ecules) and maximally extended. Their mean planes form dihedral angles of 4.08 (6)/20.47 (6) and 2.22 (6)/58.19 (6)° with the aromatic rings in the two mol-ecules. The crystal packing is purely governed by weak inter-molecular forces.
