The title compound consists of C8H8S4 molecules where the tetrathiaful
valene backbone is nearly planar, and bond angles and distances are in
accord with other TTF derivatives. The C-S-C angles for the five-memb
ered rings of the TTF moiety average 95.83 (15)degrees for the ring co
ntaining the methyl groups and 94.37(17)degrees for the unsubstituted
ring. The molecules are stacked in pairs about an inversion center, wi
th intermolecular S ... S distances of 3.932 (2)Angstrom between adjac
ent molecules.
