The title compound, C15H13N3O2S2, was obtained from a condensation reaction of benzyl dithiocarbazate and 2-nitrobenzaldehyde. In the molecule, the nearly planar dithiocarbazate fragment [r.m.s deviation = 0.0264 Å] is oriented at dihedral angles of 7.25 (17) and 74.09 (9)°with respect to the two benzene rings. The nitro group is twisted by a dihedral angle of 22.4 (7)° to the attached benzene ring. The nitrobenzene ring and dithiocarbazate fragment are located on the opposite sides of the C=N bond, showing an E configuration. In the crystal, molecules are linked via intermolecular N—H...S hydrogen bonds, forming centrosymmetric supramolecular dimers. Weak C—H...π interaction is also observed in the crystal structure.
