Abstract
One of the possible strategies for the synthesis of electrically conductive molecular materials based on unsymmetrically substituted tetrathiafulvalenes implies the use of a precursor bearing cyanoethylsulfanyl groups attached to the tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) core. The title compound, C16H16N2S6, is such a precursor. The two cyanoethylsulfanyl groups are attached to the two adjacent C atoms of one of the two C3S2 rings of the TTF core and protrude on both sides of the molecule. In the crystal structure, the TTF core is not planar and adopts a boat conformation; the two C3S2 rings are folded around the S⋯S hinges, the dihedral angles being 12.19 (6) and 22.70 (4)°. There are no unusual intermolecular contacts in the solid state. The crystal studied was a partial inversion twin, with contributions of 0.72 (4) and 0.28 (4) for the two twin domains.
