Abstract
The title compound, C(23)H(16)O(2)S(2), is a benzo[b]thio-phene-2-carboxyl-ate derivative and consists of naphtho-thio-phene and benzo-thio-phene moieties bridged by a methyl-ene group. The dihedral angle between the two aromatic ring systems is 88.5 (2)°. Intra-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions generate an S(6) ring motif. The acetate group assumes an extended conformation. Weak C-H⋯π and π-π stacking inter-actions are present in the crystal structure, together with a short S⋯S inter-action of 3.77 (8) Å. A Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that H⋯H inter-actions contribute the most to the crystal packing (34.9%).Please give email addresses for all authors.
