Crystal structure of 4-methyl­benzyl N′-[(thio­phen-2-yl)methyl­idene]hydrazinecarbodi­thio­ate

In the title compound, C(15)H(16)N(2)S(3) {systematic name: [({[(4-methyl­phen­yl)meth­yl]sulfan­yl}methane­thio­yl)amino][1-(thio­phen-2-yl)ethyl­idene]amine}, the central CN(2)S(2) residue is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0061 Å) and forms dihedral angles of 7.39 (10) and 64.91 (5)° with the thienyl and p-tolyl rings, respectively; the dihedral angle between these rings is 57.52 (6)°. The non-thione S atoms are syn, and with respect to the thione S atom, the benzyl group is anti. In the crystal, centrosymmetrically related mol­ecules self-associate via eight-membered {⋯HNCS}(2) synthons. The dimeric aggregates stack along the a axis and are are consolidated into a three-dimensional architecture via methyl-C—H⋯π(benzene) and benzene-C—H⋯π(thien­yl) inter­actions.
