Article abstract of DOI:10.1107/S0108270196005446

The title compound, C₁₈H₁₀N₂OS₂, was prepared and characterized on the basis of its ¹H NMR and UV spectra, and X-ray diffraction analysis. The five-membered heterocyclic rings are flat and coplanar with their fused benzene rings. The furan ring is planar, with the 2-benzothiazolyl groups rotated out of plane by 6.3 (1) and 32.7 (1)°. The S atoms of the 2-benzothiazolyl groups are positioned anti with respect to one another.
