1,4-Bis[2-(1,3-benzothia-zol-2-yl)phen-oxy]butane.

The mol-ecule of the title compound, C(30)H(24)N(2)O(2)S(2), adopts a transoid conformation consistent with the inversion centre located at the mid-point of the central C-C single bond, resulting in one half mol-ecule in the asymmetric unit. The dihedral angle between the coplanar benzothia-zole ring system and the benzene ring is 11.06 (7)°. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked by weak inter-molecular π-π inter-actions between thia-zole and benzene rings to form a three-dimensional network.
