Crystal structure of 1,2-bis((benzylsulfanyl){2-[1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)ethylidene]hydrazin-1-ylidene}methyl)disulfane

Abstract

The title compound, C32H30N4O2S4, consists of two Schiff base moieties, namely two S-benzyl-β-N-(2-hydroxyphenylethylidene)dithiocarbazate groups, which are connected through an S—S single bond. These two moieties are twisted with respect to each other, with a dihedral angle of 87.88 (4)° between the S2C=N planes. A bifurcated intramolecular O—H...(N,S) hydrogen bond is observed in each moiety. In the crystal, molecules are linked by pairs of C—H...O hydrogen bonds into inversion dimers. The dimers are further stacked in a column along the b axis through weak C—H...π interactions.
