In the crystal structure of the title compound, C20H14S, the thiophene rings are disordered; such a flip-type disorder is typical for simple, monosubstituted thiophene derivatives. Two planar fragments, the thiophene and the anthracene units, are almost perpendicular in order to relieve the H⋯H steric strains. The crystal packing is determined by van der Waals interactions, π–π stacking between the anthracene fragments, and some weak C—H⋯S and C—H⋯π short directional contacts.

Efficient dye-sensitized TiO2 solar cells based on a 2-thiophen-2-yl-vinyl-conjugated ruthenium photosensitizer and a conjugated polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) have been fabricated. A maximum power conversion efficiency of 2.6% is achieved when the mesoporous TiO2 layer is 5–6 μm. The high fill factor (0.74), the open circuit voltage (0.78V), and the linear light intensity dependence of the short circuit current density (4.5mA cm−2 at 100 mW cm−2) make these devices promising for solid state photovoltaic applications.
