title: 1,2-Bis{4-[1-(anthracen-9-ylmeth-yl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]phen-yl}-1,2-bis-[4,5-bis-(methyl-sulfan-yl)-1,3-dithiol-2-yl-idene]ethane.
abstract: The title mol-ecule, C58H44N6S8, has point symmetry 2 (in the Schönfliess notation C2). The related crystallographic twofold axis bis-ects the central ethane bond while it is parallel to the monoclinic unique axis of the unit cell. The dithiole=C-C=dithiole torsion angle is 103.7 (4)° and the triazole-anthracene moieties adopt a pincer-like conformation. The crystal structure features C-H⋯S and C-H⋯N contacts. The distance between the stacked anthracene fragments [centroid-centroid separations of 3.6871 (19) Å, off-set by 1.516 (3) Å and mean anthracene plane-plane separations of 3.361 (2) Å], which are parallel to (101) and (-101), indicates inter-molecular anthracene-anthracene π-π contacts. One of the terminal methyl-sulfanyl groups was modelled as being disordered with two refined orientations that converged to occupancies of 0.809 (5) and 0.191 (5).
