Abstract: There are two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C₁₉H₂₄S₂. In both molecules, the aliphatic segment of the ligand is in an all-trans conformation: the -S-(CH₂)₅-S-bridging chain is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation for all non-H atoms = 0.0393 and 0.0796 Å in the two molecules) and maximally extended. Their mean planes form dihedral angles of 4.08 (6)/20.47 (6) and 2.22 (6)/58.19 (6)° with the aromatic rings in the two molecules. The crystal packing is purely governed by weak intermolecular forces.
