title: 1,4-Bis(4-pyridylsulfanylmeth-yl)benzene.
abstract: In the title compound, C(18)H(16)N(2)S(2), a crystallographic inversion centre lies at the centre of the benzene ring, and the two terminal 4-mercaptopyridyl groups adopt an anti geometry. Each benzene ring makes a dihedral angle of 55.4 (1)° with the plane of the benzene fragment. The crystal structure is stabilized by C-H⋯π inter-actions between a benzene H atom and a pyridyl ring of a neighbouring mol-ecule. In addition, the crystal structure exhibits inter-molecular C-H⋯N inter-actions.
