The asymmetric unit of the title solvate, C(30)H(16)N(4)S(4)·2CHCl(3), contains one half-molecule of tetrakis(2-benzothiazolyl)ethene, the complete molecule being generated by inversion symmetry, and one molecule of chloroform. Pairs of the benzothia-zole rings attached to the same carbon atom are almost perpendicular to each other, with an angle between planes of 85.74 (4)°. In the crystal, weak C-H⋯N and C-H⋯Cl interactions generate a three-dimensional network.
