Crystal structure of 7,8,15,16,17-penta­thiadi­spiro­[5.2.5(9).3(6)]hepta­deca­ne

The title compound, C(12)H(20)S(5), crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c with four mol­ecules in the unit cell. In the crystal, the asymmetric unit comprises the entire mol­ecule with the three cyclic moieties arranged in a line. The mol­ecules in the unit cell pack in a parallel fashion, with their longitudinal axes arranged along a uniform direction. The packing is stabilized by the one-dimensional propagation of non-classical hydrogen-bonding contacts between the central sulfur atom of the S(3) fragment and the C—H of a cyclo­hexyl group from a glide-related mol­ecule [C⋯S = 3.787 (2) Å].
