(Z)-2-[(E)-2-(1-Benzothio-phen-3-yl-methyl-idene)hydrazin-1-yl-idene]-1, 2-diphenyl-ethanone

Abstract

The title compound, C23H16N2OS, is not planar, the phenyl ring of the benzoyl group making a dihedral of 77.61 (7)°with the benzothio-phene system ring. The benzothio-phene system and the remaining phenyl ring make an angle of 12.71 (13)°. The conformation around the imine functions is E for the C=N bond towards the benzothio-phene system and Z for the C=N bond towards the benzoyl group. The packing of the mol-ecules shows C-H?? inter-actions. A weak intramolecular C-H?N bond also occurs.
