The title mol­ecule, C4OS5, is essentially planar, with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.032 (3) Å. All the C—S single bonds are shorter than the standard Csp3—S single-bond length, showing the π-conjugated nature of the molecule. In the crystal, molecules lie parallel to one another and pack in columns along the a axis. Short inter­molecular S...S contacts [3.314 (3), 3.482 (2) and 3.501 (2) Å] are observed between the columns. The angle between the two mol­ecular dipole moments in the unit cell is 39.3 (1)° and the macro-polarization vector is along the [1 0 − 1.41] direction. As a result of the high polarization and π-conjugation of the structure, the crystalline powder exhibits a second harmonic generating intensity, which is as strong as that of the urea standard powder crystals, when irradiated by a 1053 nm laser beam. The diffraction space of the crystal showed a nonmerohedral twinning.
