Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of (E)-3-[(4-fluoro­benzyl­idene)amino]-5-phenyl­thia­zolidin-2-iminium bromide

In the cation of the title salt, C(16)H(15)FN(3)S(+)·Br(−), the phenyl ring is disordered over two sets of sites with a refined occupancy ratio of 0.503 (4):0.497 (4). The mean plane of the thia­zolidine ring makes dihedral angles of 13.51 (14), 48.6 (3) and 76.5 (3)° with the fluoro­phenyl ring and the major- and minor-disorder components of the phenyl ring, respectively. The central thia­zolidine ring adopts an envelope conformation. In the crystal, centrosymmetrically related cations and anions are linked into dimeric units via N—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds, which are further connected by weak C—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds into chains parallel to [110]. Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots indicate that the most important contributions to the crystal packing are from H⋯H (44.3%), Br⋯H/H⋯Br (16.8%), C⋯H/H⋯C (13.9%), F⋯H/H⋯F (10.3%) and S⋯H/H⋯S (3.8%) inter­actions.
