2,2′-[Anthracene-9,10-diyldi(methylenethio)]dianiline

Abstract

The title compound, C28H24N2S2, is a derivative of anthracenyl compounds which are extensively used in PET sensors. The mol­ecule of the title compound has inversion symmetry and forms two intra­molecular hydrogen bonds of the type N—H⋯S. In the crystal structure, the mol­ecules are linked by C—H⋯π hydrogen-bonding contacts with the benzenamines acting both as donor and acceptor units.
