Abstract: The title compound, C₁₃H₁₈O₂S₅, possesses twofold symmetry and is composed of two pivalyl groups lying on opposite sides of the planar 1,3-dithiole-2-thione conjugated moiety. Owing to the introduction of the C=O electron-acceptor group the adjacent C-S bond length [1.774  (4)  Å] is shorter than that of a typical C-S single bond. In the crystal structure, there are no significant intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
