The mol-ecular framework of the title compound, C(11)H(7)IOS(8), is almost planar [maximum deviation = 0.040 (4) Å], except for the two methyl-sulfanyl groups, which are twisted relative to the mol-ecular skeleton, making C-S-C-C torsion angles of 144.1 (8) and -141.3 (8)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are stacked alternately in opposite orientations, forming a one-dimensional column parallel to [110]. The primary inter-actions between mol-ecules comprising the columns are of the S⋯S type [3.554 (1) Å]. Inter-actions between columns are of the S⋯S type [3.411 (1) along b and 3.444 (1) Å along c], as well as S⋯I contacts [3.435 (2) Å].
