3-Methyl-5-methyl­sulfanyl-1,3,4-thia­diazole-2(3H)-thione

The title compound, C(4)H(6)N(2)S(3), has two very similar mol­ecules per asymmetric unit. The nine non-H atoms in each mol­ecule are coplanar, both having comparable r.m.s. deviations of 0.002 Å. The main inter­est in the rather simple structure resides in a survey of very weak (in some cases, borderline) non-bonding inter­actions of various kinds, viz. S⋯S, C—H⋯π, π–π [centroid–centroid distance = 3.8958 (13) Å] and C—S⋯π [3.7271 (11) Å], which act as the major driving force for the arrangement of mol­ecules in the structure. The role of long, though highly directional, S⋯S contacts (d > 3.60 Å), and their relevance to the stability of the structure is discussed.
