The title molecule, C28H20O8S2, has a T-shaped conformation. The central 9,10-anthraquinone moiety is bow-shaped with the two outer aromatic rings being inclined to one another by 13.99 (11)°. The benzenesulfonate rings are inclined to one another by 47.35 (12)°, and by 34.51 (11) and 17.88 (11)° to the bridging aromatic ring of the 9,10-anthraquinone moiety. In the crystal, C—H⋯O interactions link the molecules into ribbons in [100].
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
