The benzothiazole unit is similar to those found in other derivatives,
e.g. bis(1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl) disulfide [Zingaro & Meyers (1980). C
ryst. Struct. Commun. 9, 1167-1172] or 2-methylthio-1,3-benzothiazole
[Wheatley (1962). J. Chem. Soc. p. 3636]. The S atoms of the disulfide
group and the condensed ring system are nearly coplanar (torsion angl
e tau(NCSS) + 9.3-degrees). The overall conformation of the title comp
ound is almost linear.
