Three factors determine the three‐dimensional crystal structure of the charge‐transfer complex of bis(4‐hydroxyphenyl)disulfide and 1,4‐benzoquinone: the charge‐transfer interaction between the components, the hydrogen bonds, and the twist of the phenyl rings about the SS bond of the disulfide unit. The ribbon‐shaped structures depicted on the right result, which line up along the c axis.
