2-{[(Dodecylsulfanyl)carbonothioyl]sulfanyl}-2-methylpropanoic acid: a chain of edge-fused R(2)(2)(8) and R(4)(4)(20) rings built from O-H...O and C-H...O hydrogen bonds.
In the title compound, C(17)H(32)O(2)S(3), the dodecyl chain and the trithiocarbonate unit adopt a nearly planar all-trans conformation, while the carboxyl group is synclinal to this chain direction. The molecules are linked by pairs of inversion-related O-H...O hydrogen bonds to form centrosymmetric dimers of R(2)(2)(8) type, and dimers related by translation are linked by C-H...O hydrogen bonds to form a chain of edge-fused rings, or a molecular ladder, containing alternating R(2)(2)(8) and R(4)(4)(20) rings.
