title: 4-(2-Cyano-ethyl-sulfan-yl)-5'-(pyridin-4-yl)tetra-thia-fulvalene.
abstract: In the title compound, C(14)H(10)N(2)S(5) [systematic name; 3-({2-[4-(pyridin-4-yl)-2H-1,3-dithiol-2-yl-idene]-2H-1,3-dithiol-4-yl}sul-fan-yl)propane-nitrile], all of the non-H atoms except for the cyano-ethyl-sulfanyl group, are approximately coplanar [maxium deviation = 0.090 (3) Å]. The two five-membered 1,3-dithiole rings are twisted by 2.6 (2)°. Weak inter-molecular S⋯S inter-actions occur [3.586 (4) and 3.530 (4) Å].
