(Z)-1-(2,5-Dichloro-3-thien­yl)ethanone semicarbazone

The title mol­ecule, C(7)H(7)Cl(2)N(3)OS, is approximately planar [maximum deviation = 0.062 (1) Å]. Short inter­molecular distances between the centroids of the five-membered rings [3.5340 (8) Å] indicate the existence of π–π inter­actions. An inter­esting feature of the crystal structure is the presence of short intra­molecular Cl⋯N inter­actions [3.0015 (11) Å]. Mol­ecules are linked via pairs of inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating R (2) (2)(8) ring motifs. Furthermore, N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds form R (2) (1)(7) ring motifs with C—H⋯O contacts, further consolidating the crystal structure. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by these inter­molecular inter­actions, forming chains along [001].
