(Z)-2-(5-Fluoro-2-oxoindolin-3-yl­idene)-N-phenyl­hydrazinecarbothio­amide

The title compound, C(15)H(11)FN(4)OS, crystallizes with three independent mol­ecules (A, B and C) in the asymmetric unit. The dihedral angles between the nine-membered 5-fluoro­indolin-2-one ring system and the benzene ring are 22.14 (11), 12.56 (11) and 3.70 (11)° in mol­ecules A, B and C, respectively. In all three mol­ecules, intra­molecular cyclic N—H⋯O and C—H⋯S hydrogen-bonding inter­actions [graph set S(6)] are present in the N—N—C—N chain between the ring systems. In the crystal, the A mol­ecules form centrosymmetric cyclic dimers through inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which are linked into a supramolecular chain along [100] via C—H⋯F interactions; each type of hydrogen bond has graph set graph set R (2) (2)(8). A similar chain stabilised by similar interactions and also along [100] but, comprising alternating molecules of B and C is found. The latter chains are connected via C—H⋯S interactions, forming a layer with a zigzag topology parallel to (001).
