1-Methyl-4-({5-[(4-methyl-phen-yl)sulfan-yl]pent-yl}sulfan-yl)benzene.

There are two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(19)H(24)S(2). In both mol-ecules, the aliphatic segment of the ligand is in an all-trans conformation: the -S-(CH(2))(5)-S-bridging chain is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation for all non-H atoms = 0.0393 and 0.0796†à in the two mol-ecules) and maximally extended. Their mean planes form dihedral angles of 4.08†(6)/20.47†(6) and 2.22†(6)/58.19†(6)° with the aromatic rings in the two mol-ecules. The crystal packing is purely governed by weak inter-molecular forces.
