The crystal structure of the title compound has been determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The crystal is orthorhombic, space group Cmc21, with a= 13.217 (4), b= 9.784 (3), c= 8.083 (3) A, Z--4. The structure was solved by heavy-atom methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares calculations to R = 0.044 for 603 observed reflexions. The structure is ionic and can be taken as belonging to the NaCI type, composed of decane (TBD) cations. The TBD ring has mirror symmetry with a symmetrical trans-chair conformation. A distinct difference is found in the two S-C bond lengths (1-806, 1.872 A).
