Synthesis, molecular structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of (4-methoxyphenyl)[2-(methylsulfanyl)thiophen-3-yl]methanone

Abstract

The title compound, C13H12O2S2, crystallizes in the triclinic space group P\overline{1}. The molecular structure is substantially twisted, with a dihedral angle of 43.70 (2)° between the 2-(methylsulfanyl)thiophene and 4-methoxyphenyl rings. In the crystal, molecules are linked through C—H...O interactions and form a bifurcated layer stacking along the b-axis direction and enclosing R22(10) ring motifs. The phenyl rings are involved in π–π interactions with a centroid–centroid separation of 3.760 (2) Å. The Hirshfeld surfaces were studied and the contributions of the various intermolecular interactions were quantified.
