Abstract: The title compound, C₁₁H₂₆P₂S₂, displays crystallographic mirror symmetry. Key bond lengths (Å) are P1-C(methylene) 1.8464  (18), P1-C(butyl) 1.8711  (13), P2-C(methylene) 1.8266  (18), P2-C(methyl) 1.7948  (15), P1=S 1.9631  (8) and P2=S 1.9552  (8), where P1 is the di-tert-butylphosphino P atom and P2 is the dimethylphosphino P atom. The angle P-C-P [124.31  (10)°] is wide and S=P-C(methylene) [108.91  (6)°] narrow. Steric pressure from the tert-butyl groups may cause some of the molecular dimensions to depart from normal values.
