The molecular structure of the title compound, C28H22N2O6S2·0.5CH3COOH, is built up from three fused rings, two six and one eight membered. The eight-membered ring shows a boat conformation and the dihedral angle between the two benzene groups attached thereto is 66.43 (11)°, resulting in a V-shaped geometry. Two tosyl substituents are bound to the N atoms. The planes through the tolyl rings are roughly perpendicular, as indicated by the dihedral angle of 82.44 (12)°. In the crystal, the molecule and its inversion-related symmetry-equivalent are linked to the acetic acid solvent molecule by non-classical O—HO and C—HO hydrogen bonds. Two half-occupied acetic acid solvent molecules are disordered at the same site and linked by a center of symmetry.
