Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C34H28S8, contains two crystallographically independent half-mol­ecules. The mol­ecules lie on centers of inversion. The four benzene rings of each mol­ecule are substantially twisted from the planes of the 1,3-dithiole rings, forming dihedral angles of 43.6 (2) and 61.4 (1)° in one mol­ecule and 54.2 (1) and 65.2 (1)° in the other.
