title: 2-[2-(4-Methyl-benzo-yl)-3,3-bis-(methyl-sulfan-yl)prop-2-enyl-idene]malononitrile.
abstract: The title compound, C(16)H(14)N(2)OS(2), is an example of a push-pull butadiene in which the electron-releasing and electron-withdrawing attachments on either end of the butadiene chain enhance the conjugation in the system. The mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular C-H⋯N inter-actions.
