An Eight-Membered N,N,S,S-Heterocyclic Compound: 4,7-Bis(4-chlorophenyl)-3,8-dihydro-1,2,5,6-dithiadiazocine

The eight-membered ring in the title compound, C₁₆H₁₂Cl₂N₂S₂, adopts a non-planar conformation as expected, and the least-squares planes of the 4-substituted aromatic ring form a dihedral angle of 83.3 (2)° as a result of steric constraints. The molecular dimensions are of general interest for comparison with structural data of analogous compounds.
