title: 4,4',4''-Tris(2-pyrid-yl)-2,2',2''-[(2,4,6-trimethyl-benzene-1,3,5-tri-yl)tris-(methyl-ene)tris-(sulfanedi-yl)]tripyrimidine.
abstract: The title compound, C(39)H(33)N(9)S(3), features a mesitylene unit substituted with three thio-ether arms. The distances from the center of mesitylene unit to the N atoms of the three pyridine rings in the arms are 10.05 (1), 9.94 (3) and 8.79 (3) Å. The crystal structure shows weak intra-molecular C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds.
