The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C29H24N2OS, consists of two independent molecules having markedly different orientations of the substituents on the central imidazole ring. Apart from a weak C—H...S hydrogen bond, the intermolecular interactions in the crystal are all of the C—H...π(ring) type and form a three-dimensional network. One of the phenyl rings is disordered over two sets of sites in 0.713 (9): 0.287 (9) ratio.
