Bis(2,3-dichlorophenyl) disulfide

Abstract

The title compound, C12H6Cl4S2, features an S—S bond [2.0252 (8) Å] that bridges two 2,3-di­chloro­phenyl rings with a C—S—S—C torsion angle of 88.35 (11)°. The benzene rings are normal one to the other with a dihedral angle of 89.83 (11)°. The crystal structure features inter­molecular Cl⋯Cl [3.4763 (11) Å] and π–π stacking inter­actions [centroid–centroid distances = 3.696 (1) and 3.641 (2) Å]. Intra­molecular C—H⋯S inter­actions are also observed.
