1,4,8,11-Tetrathiacyclotetradecan-6-one

Molecules of the title compound, C₁₀H₁₈OS₄, adopt the same [3434] conformation as the parent macrocycle 1,4,8,11-tetrathiacyclotetradecane, supporting our conjecture concerning the steric influence of the hydrazone H atoms in some related derivatives. The closest intermolecular contacts are CH...O distances of 2.61–2.73 Å which link molecules in linear chains.
