Crystal structure of N,N,N-tris[(1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)methyl]amine

Abstract

The title compound, C24H18N4S3, exhibits three near planar benzothiazole systems in a pseudo-C3 conformation. The dihedral angles between the planes of the benzothiazole groups range from 112.56 (4) to 124.68 (4)° In the crystal, molecules are connected to each other through three short C—H...N contacts, forming an infinite chain along [100]. The molecules are also linked by π–π interactions with each of the three five-membered thiazole rings. [inter-centroid distance range: 3.614 (1)–4.074 (1) Å, inter-planar distance range: 3.4806 (17)–3.6902 (15) Å, slippage range: 0.759 (3)–1.887 (3) Å].
