(Z)-2-[(E)-2-(1-Benzo­thio­phen-3-yl­methyl­­idene)hydrazin-1-yl­­idene]-1,2-di­phenyl­ethanone

Abstract

The title compound, C23H16N2OS, is not planar, the phenyl ring of the benzoyl group making a dihedral of 77.61 (7)degrees with the benzothiophene system ring. The benzothiophene system and the remaining phenyl ring make an angle of 12.71 (13)degrees. The conformation around the imine functions is E for the C=N bond towards the benzothiophene system and Z for the C=N bond towards the benzoyl group. The packing of the molecules shows C-H center dot center dot center dot pi interactions. A weak intramolecular C-H center dot center dot center dot N bond also occurs.
