3-tert-Butyl-5,6,8-trinitronaphtho[1,8a,8-cd][1,2]dithiole

Nitration of 2,7-di-tert-butylnaphthalene 1,8-disulfide with fuming nitric acid in 1:3 molar ratio gives the title compound, C14H11N3O6S2. A tape motif is formed by weak head-to-tail interactions (3.131 Å) between S and NO2 O atoms of a symmetry-related molecule.
