The structure of the title compound (C7H4ClN2S2).[AsF6], has four crystallographically independent cations, in each of which attractive SCl interactions enhance the intrinsic electronic tendency of the two rings to coplanarity. The C—C—C—S torsion angles about the bond joining the rings are 1.4 (11), 9.0 (11), 9.5 (11) and 5.0 (12)°, and in each cation the SCl distance is close to 2.9 Å.
