2,4,6-Trihexyl-1,3,5-trithiane

The crystal structure of the title compound, C21H42S3, comprises two independent pseudo-enantiomeric molecules, related by an approximate n-glide plane operation perpendicular to the b axis followed by a rotation of 4.2(1)degrees about the b-axis direction. This slight but significant deviation from space group P2(1)/n to the noncentrosymmetric space group P2(1) avoids unrealistically short van der Waals contacts in the chain packing. The trithiane rings have chair conformations
