Abstract: In the title compound, C₁₅H₁₄N₄O₂S·0.4C₃H₆O·0.1CH₂Cl₂, two benzene rings in the ortho-methoxy dehydrodithizone (omd) molecule are twisted out of the tetrazole plane with the methoxy groups in a cis orientation relative to the tetrazole backbone. The acetone is located on a special position. The dihedral angles formed by the benzene rings with the central five-membered ring are 63.14 (8) and 57.06 (6)°. In the crystal structure, the relatively short distance of 3.886 (3) Å between the centroids of benzene rings from two neighbouring omd molecules indicate - stacking interactions.
