Abstract: The title compound, C₁₇H₁₆N₂S₂, a dithiocarbazate derivative, adopts an EE configuration with respect to the C=C and C=N double bonds of the propenylidine group. The 3-phenylprop-2-enylidene and dithiocarbazate fragments lie essentially in the same plane, with a maximum deviation from that plane of 0.074 (2) Å, while the dihedral angle between the 3-phenylprop-2-enylidene and the benzyl group is 77.78 (7)°. In the crystal structure, molecules are linked by an N-HS hydrogen bond and a weak C-HS interaction involving the terminal thione S atom, forming dimers that are arranged into sheets parallel to the bc plane. The crystal structure is also stabilized by C-H interactions.
