Abstract: The title compound, C₂₄H₂₄N₆S₃·0.5CHCl₃ (TPSB·0.5CHCl₃), crystallizes with one molecule of TPSB and half a solvent molecule of CHCl₃ in the asymmetric unit. The three 2-pyrimidinylthiomethyl groups attached to the central benzene ring adopt a cis,cis,cis conformation. The molecule of TPSB is analogous to a `three-legged stool', and the dihedral angles between each of the three `legs' (2-pyrimidinyl rings) and the central benzene ring are 87.0 (5), 78.2 (3) and 97.1 (6)°, respectively, while the angles between the three `legs' are 41.1 (3), 91.3 (5) and 49.5 (7)°, respectively.
