Crystal structure of (2Z,5Z)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-[(4-methoxyphenyl)imino]-5-[(E)-3-(2-nitrophenyl)allylidene]-1,3-thiazolidin-4-one

Abstract

In the title compound, C26H21N3O5S, the thiazole ring is nearly planar with a maximum deviation of 0.017 (2) Å, and is twisted with respect to the three benzene rings, making dihedral angles of 25.52 (12), 85.77 (12) and 81.85 (13)°. In the crystal, weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds and C—H...π interactions link the molecules into a three-dimensional supramolecular architecture. Aromatic π–π stacking is also observed between the parallel nitrobenzene rings of neighbouring molecules, the centroid-to-centroid distance being 3.5872 (15) Å.
