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.
