The title compound, C58H64S8, has been prepared by Pd-catalysed direct C—H arylation of tetrathienonaphthalene (TTN) with 5-hexyl-2-iodothiophene and recrystallized by slow evaporation from dichloromethane. The crystal structure shows a completely planar geometry of the TTN core, crystallizing in the monoclinic space group
