title: 2,2'-(Sulfanediyldimethyl-ene)bis-(1,3-benzothia-zole).
abstract: In the title compound, C(16)H(12)N(2)S(3), the two benzothia-zole groups are oriented differently with respect to the -CH(2)- groups, one being approximately staggered and one nearly eclipsed. A sulfur-π inter-action of 3.3627 (11) Å is observed between the bridging thio-ether S atom and a thia-zole ring. The crystal packing is further stabilized by inter-molecular C-H⋯N and C-H⋯π inter-actions.
