Abstract
In the title compound, C16H12O2S, the phenyl ring is nearly perpendicular to the naphthalene system [dihedral angle = 80.3 (1)°]. The packing is consolidated by a weak C—H⋯π interaction involving neighbouring naphthalene and benzene rings. In addition, there exist two different offset π–π stacking interactions between benzene rings and between naphthalene systems of symmetry-related molecules [centroid–centroid distances = 3.876 (9) and 3.566 (4) Å, and slippage = 1.412 and 0.554 Å, respectively.

Summary
The packing is consolidated by a weak C—HÁ Á Á interaction involving neighbouring naphthalene and benzene rings. There exist two different offset – stacking interactions between benzene rings and between naphthalene systems of symmetry-related molecules [centroid–centroid distances = 3.876 (9) and 3.566 (4) A , and slippage = 1.412 and 0.554 A , respectively.
