Abstract: There are two crystallographically independent molecules in the asymmetric unit of the title heteroaryl chalcone, C₂₁H₁₄OS: the dihedral angle between the thiophene and anthracene rings is 75.07 (17)° in one molecule and 76.32 (17)° in the other. The crystal structure is consolidated by short CO [3.348 (5)-3.394 (5) Å], CS [3.607 (5)-3.666 (5) Å] and SO [2.926 (3) Å] contacts, as well as by C-H and - interactions [CgCg = 3.745 (3) Å].
