The title compound, C14H12N2S2O, contains a dithio­carbazate group. The phenyl ring is disordered and perpendicular [dihedral angle of 48.0 (3)°] to the rest of the mol­ecule, which is planar.

Comment

Dithio­carbazate derivatives have been widely studied and have great potential biological activity as anticancer and antimicrobial drugs (Bharti et al., 2000[Bharti, N., Maurya, M. R., Naqvi, F., Bhattacharya, A., Bhattacharya, S. & Azam, A. (2000). Eur. J. Med. Chem. 35, 481-486.]) and in radiopharmaceutical applications (Boschi et al., 2003[Boschi, A., Bolzati, C., Uccelli, L. & Duatti, A. (2003). Nucl. Med. Biol. 30, 381-387.]). This functional group is of particular inter­est because it is easily tuned by reaction with different aldehydes or ketones to give varied geometries for chelation to transition metals. In the structure of the title compound, (I)[link], we were inter­ested in studying the effect of introducing a furan ring to determine if it can also participate in chelation to a metal centre. The previously reported CdII complex of this ligand (Tarafder et al., 2002b[Tarafder, M. T. H., Khoo, T.-J., Crouse, K. A., Ali, A. M., Yamin, B. M.,& Fun, H.-K. (2002b). Polyhedron, 21, 2691-2698.]) indicated that it only forms a bis-chelating bidentate ligand without O coordination. The biological activity of the compound and its analytical characterization have also been reported (Tarafder et al., 2002a[Tarafder, M. T. H., Khoo, T.-J., Crouse, K. A., Ali, A. M., Yamin, B. M. & Fun, H.-K. (2002a). Polyhedron, 21, 2547-2554.]).

[Scheme 1]

Compound (I)[link] (Figs. 1[link]–3[link][link]) crystallizes in the unprotonated thione form with a C=S bond length of 1.664 (2) Å, which is slightly longer than that previously reported for a dithio­carbazate Schiff base [1.6503 (17) Å; Chan et al., 2003[Chan, M.-H. E., Crouse, K. A., Tarafder, M. T. H. & Yamin, B. M. (2003). Acta Cryst. E59, o628-629.]]. This is in accordance with other experimental characterizations, which indicate that this type of compound forms the thione tautomer in the solid state. The formation of the CdII complex occurs through coordination at the azomethane N atom and thiol­ate S atom (Tarafder et al., 2002b[Tarafder, M. T. H., Khoo, T.-J., Crouse, K. A., Ali, A. M., Yamin, B. M.,& Fun, H.-K. (2002b). Polyhedron, 21, 2691-2698.]) but does not show any bond-length change: N1—N2 = 1.381 (2) Å in (I)[link].

The mol­ecule crystallizes in the conformer in which the N1—N2 bond adopts a trans geometry with respect to C12=S2, while the S-benzyl group adopts a cis geometry. The furan and phenyl groups are cis to each other across N2/N1/C12/S1. The C13=N2 bond [1.289 (3) Å] is formed from the condensation reaction. The C14 methyl group is cis to the furyl O atom in this free ligand but transforms to trans upon chelation to CdII (Tarafder et al., 2002b[Tarafder, M. T. H., Khoo, T.-J., Crouse, K. A., Ali, A. M., Yamin, B. M.,& Fun, H.-K. (2002b). Polyhedron, 21, 2691-2698.]), even though the O atom does not coordinate to the metal centre. The S1—C12=S2 angle is maintained at 125.22 (12)° after coordination [125.22 (12)° in (I)].

Experimental

The Schiff base ligand was prepared according to the literature method of Tarafder et al. (2002a[Tarafder, M. T. H., Khoo, T.-J., Crouse, K. A., Ali, A. M., Yamin, B. M. & Fun, H.-K. (2002a). Polyhedron, 21, 2547-2554.]). S-Benzyl­dithio­carbazate (1.98 g, 0.1 mol) in absolute ethanol (40 ml) was added to an equimolar quantity of 2-furylmethyl­ketone in absolute ethanol (50 ml). The mixture was heated over a steam bath for 10 min and then cooled to 273 K in an ice bath. The Schiff base which precipitated was filtered, washed with cold ethanol and dried in vacuo over silica gel, giving a dark-orange product (yield 80%, m.p 406 K). Yellow single crystals of (I)[link], suitable for X-ray analysis, were obtained by slow evaporation of an ethanol solution over a period of three weeks.

The phenyl group was seen to be disordered. The site occupancy factors for the two orientations refined to 0.508 (4):0.492 (4), in close agreement with the value of 0.5:0.5 which would be required by strict alternation of the two orientations in each mol­ecular layer (Figs. 2[link] and 3[link]). All H atoms (including those of the disordered phenyl group) were located in a difference map, but those attached to C atoms were repositioned geometrically. All H atoms were initially refined with soft restraints on the bond lengths and angles to regularize their geometry (C—H in the range 0.93–98 and N—H = 0.85 Å) and isotropic atomic displacement parameters [Uiso(H) in the range 1.2–1.5 times Ueq of the parent atom], after which they were refined with riding constraints.
