In the title disulfide, C(16)H(18)S(2), the mol-ecule is twisted about the central S-S bond [the C-S-S-C torsion angle = 93.24 (7)°] and the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 72.84 (7)°, indicating an almost orthogonal relationship; the methyl groups are orientated to the same side of the mol-ecule. The crystal packing features C-H⋯.π inter-actions which consolidate a three-dimensional architecture.
