2,5-Bis(4-tert-butyl­phen­yl)-3,4-dinitro­thio­phene

The title compound, C₂₄H₂₆N₂O₄S, is a precursor for the production of low band gap conjugated polymers. The dihedral angles between the thio­phene and benzene rings are 31.5 (1) and 52.2 (1)°, and that between the two benzene rings is 35.7 (1)°.
