The aliphatic segment of this ligand is in an all-trans conformation. The bridging chain, –S-(CH2)4-S–, is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation for all non-H atoms: 0.056 Å) and its mean plane forms dihedral angles of 16.60 (7) and 5.80 (2)° with the aromatic rings. In the crystal, the mol­ecules are linked by weak C—H ... O inter­actions into chains with graph-set notation C(14) along [0 0 1]. The crystal studied was a racemic twin, the ratio of the twin components being 0.27 (9):0.73 (9).
