The title compound, C(12)H(8)S(4), has crystallographic \overline{1} symmetry, the benzene groups thus being anti with respect to the plane of the four S atoms. The S-S and C-S bond lengths of the sulfur-carbon eight-membered ring were found to be similar to those in other structures containing such sulfur-carbon rings. There is evidence for pi-pi interactions between the aromatic rings of neighboring molecules, linking them into sheets.
