Abstract: In the title compound, C₁₅H₁₂S₄, two phenyldithiocarboxylate units are linked through a methylene C atom on a twofold rotation axis. The central S-CH₂-S angle of 116.9 (5)° is significantly larger than the ideal tetrahedral value. The dihedral angle formed by the two phenyl rings is 68.2 (1)°. The refined Flack parameter of 0.2 (3) does not permit unambiguous determination of the absolute structure.
