Abstract: The title compound, C₁₆H₁₈S₂, crystallizes with two half-molecules in the asymmetric unit. In each independent molecule, there is a centre of inversion at the mid-point of the central C-C bond. Each molecule, excluding H atoms, is roughly planar and adopts an all-anti conformation. The dihedral angles between the phenyl rings and backbone chain are 19.5 (4) and 17.8 (4)°.
