(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)° with the benzothiophene system ring. The benzothiophene system and the remaining phenyl ring make an angle of 12.71 (13)°. The conformation around the imine functions isEfor the C=N bond towards the benzothiophene system andZfor the C=N bond towards the benzoyl group. The packing of the molecules shows C—H...π interactions. A weak intramolecular C—H...N bond also occurs.
