Crystal structure and Hirshfield surface analysis of 4-phenyl-3-(thiophen-3-ylmethyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole-5(4H)-thione

Abstract

In the title compound, C13H11N3S2, the phenyl ring is twisted from the 1,2,4-triazole plane by 63.35 (9)° and by 47.35 (9)° from the thiophene plane. In the crystal, chains of molecules running along the c-axis direction are formed by N—H...S interactions [graph-set motif C(4)]. The 1,2,4-triazole and phenyl rings are involved in π–π stacking interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.4553 (10) Å]. The thiophene ring is involved in C—H...S and C—H...π interactions. The intermolecular interactions in the crystal packing were further analysed using Hirshfield surface analysis, which indicates that the most significant contacts are H...H (35.8%), followed by S...H/H...S (26.7%) and C...H/H...C (18.2%).
