The title molecule, 3,7-Bis(2-thienyl)-1,5,2,4,6,8-dithiatetrazocine, C10H6N4S4, is planar within 0.069 (5) Å, and crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c. There are two centrosymmetric molecules in the cell; these are stacked such that each eight-membered C2N4S2 ring has a thienyl ring above and below it. The mean interplanar separation is 3.55 (2) Å.
