Benzyl 3-[(E)-2-nitro­benzyl­idene]dithio­carbazate

The title compound, C(15)H(13)N(3)O(2)S(2), 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.
