Crystal structure of (E)-3-(4-hydroxybenzyl)-4-{[4-(methylsulfanyl)benzylidene]amino}-1H-1,2,4-triazole-5(4H)-thione

Abstract

In the title compound, C17H16N4OS2, the triazole and methylthiobenzylidene rings are nearly coplanar, making a dihedral angle of 6.52 (12)°. An intramolecular C—H...S hydrogen bond forms an S(6) ring motif. The hydroxybenzyl ring is almost normal to the triazole and methylthiobenzylidene rings, making dihedral angles of 78.56 (12) and 84.79 (11)°, respectively. In the crystal, molecules are linked through O—H...N and N—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to the ac plane. The layers are linked via C—H...N hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional structure. In addition, a short π–π interaction is observed [inter-centroid distance = 3.764 (3) Å], involving inversion-related methylthiobenzylidene rings.
