title: A bi-TTF with a bipyridine spacer: 4,4'-bis-[(3,6,7-trimethyl-sulfanyltetra-thia-fulvalen-2-yl)sulfanylmeth-yl]-2,2'-bipyridine.
abstract: The title compound, C(30)H(28)N(2)S(16), is a precursor to hybrid magnetic materials. The complete molecule is generated by a crystallographic inversion centre. In the crystal structure, the TTF core is not planar and adopts a chair conformation; the two C(3)S(2) rings are folded around the S⋯S hinges, the dihedral angles being 17.14 (8) and 13.46 (7)°. There is a short S⋯S contact [3.4863  (14) Å] in the crystal structure.
