Bis{4-methylbenzyl 2-[4-(propan-2-yl)benzyl-idene]hydrazine-carbodi-thio-ato-κ2N2,S}nickel(II): crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis

(E)-{[(Butyl-sulfan-yl)methane-thio-yl]amino}(4-meth-oxy-benzyl-idene)amine: crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis

The title hydrazine carbodi-thio-ate, C13H18N2OS2, is constructed about a central and almost planar C2N2S2 chromophore (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0263 Å); the terminal meth-oxy-benzene group is close to coplanar with this plane [dihedral angle = 3.92 (11)°]. The n-butyl group has an extended all-trans conformation [torsion angles S-Cm-Cm-Cm = -173.2 (3)° and Cm-Cm-Cm-Cme = 180.0 (4)°; m = methyl-ene and me = meth-yl]. The most prominent feature of the mol-ecular packing is the formation of centrosymmetric eight-membered {⋯HNCS}2 synthons, as a result of thio-amide-N-H⋯S(thio-amide) hydrogen bonds; these are linked via meth-oxy-C-H⋯π(meth-oxy-benzene) inter-actions to form a linear supra-molecular chain propagating along the a-axis direction. An analysis of the calculated Hirshfeld surfaces and two-dimensional fingerprint plots point to the significance of H⋯H (58.4%), S⋯H/H⋯S (17.1%), C⋯H/H⋯C (8.2%) and O⋯H/H⋯O (4.9%) contacts in the packing. The energies of the most significant inter-actions, i.e. the N-H⋯S and C-H⋯π inter-actions have their most significant contributions from electrostatic and dispersive components, respectively. The energies of two other identified close contacts at close to van der Waals distances, i.e. a thione-sulfur and meth-oxy-benzene-hydrogen contact (occurring within the chains along the a axis) and between methyl-ene-H atoms (occurring between chains to consolidate the three-dimensional architecture), are largely dispersive in nature.

Crystal structure of benzyl N'-[(1E,4E)-1,5-bis-(4-meth-oxy-phen-yl)penta-1,4-dien-3-yl-idene]hydrazine-1-carbodi-thio-ate

In the title hydrazinecarbodi-thio-ate derivative, C27H26N2O2S2, the asymmetric unit is comprised of four mol-ecules (Z = 8 and Z' = 4). The 4-meth-oxy-phenyl rings are slightly twisted away from their attached olefinic double bonds [torsion angles = 5.9 (4)-19.6 (4)°]. The azomethine double bond has an s-trans configuration relative to one of the C=C bonds and an s-cis configuration relative to the other [C=C-C= N = 147.4 (6)-175.7 (2) and 15.3 (3)-37.4 (7)°, respectively]. The torsion angles between the azomethine C=N double bond and hydrazine-1-carbodi-thio-ate moiety indicate only small deviations from planarity, with torsion angles ranging from 0.9 (3) to 6.9 (3)° and from 174.9 (3) to 179.7 (2)°, respectively. The benzyl ring and the methyl-enesulfanyl moiety are almost perpendicular to each other, as indicated by their torsion angles [range 93.7 (3)-114.6 (2)°]. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by C-H⋯O, N-H⋯S and C-H⋯π(ring) hydrogen-bonding inter-actions into a three-dimensional network. Structural details of related benzyl hydrazine-1-carbodi-thio-ate are surveyed and compared with those of the title compound.
