The title compound, C21H39NS2, crystallizes with two molecules in the asymmetric unit, both having a linear 18-carbon alkyl chain bound through a thioether group. No π–π stacking or hydrogen bonding is observed. The orientation of the alkyl chains facilitates intermolecular interactions between te chains. The structure is metrically orthorhombic but crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21 and was found to be twinned by pseudomerohedry (emulating orthorhombic symmetry) and by inversion. The twin factions refined to 0.37 (4), 0.13 (4), 0.31 (5), and 0.19 (4).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
