(Received 3 October 2010; accepted 19 October 2010; online 23 October 2010)

The complete mol­ecule of the title compound, C20H18N4O2S2, is generated by crystallographic inversion symmetry. The benzene ring is almost coplanar with the oxadiazole ring [dihedral angle = 7.2 (2)°].

Comment top

Functionalized 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives are of interest because of their biological activity and their wide applications in medicine, coordination chemistry and their use as organic electroluminescent (EL) devices, since these compounds possess good electron-accepting properties (Bentiss et al., 2000; Navidpour et al., 2006; Hughes & Bryce, 2005). We report here the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound, C20H18N4O2S2 (I). In the structure of the title compound the molecule has an inversion centre at the mid-point of the central C10—C10i bond (symmetry code for (i): -x + 1,-y + 3, -z + 1), the asymmetric unit containing half a molecule (Fig. 1). The mean plane of the oxadiazole ring is almost coplanar with the mean plane of the attached benzene ring [dihedral angle 7.2 (2)°]. As a result of π-π conjugation, the Csp2-S bond [S1—C8 = 1.729 (2) Å] is significantly shorter than the Csp3-S bond [S1—C9 = 1.818 (2) Å].

Experimental top

A suspension of 5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol (2.0 mmol) and 1,4-dibromobutane (1.0 mmol) in ethanol (10 ml) was stirred at room temperature. The reaction progress was monitored via TLC. The resulting precipitate was filtered off, washed with cold ethanol, dried and purified to give the title compound as a light yellow solid in 93% yield. Crystals of (I) suitable for single-crystal X-ray analysis were grown by slow evaporation of a solution in chloroform-ethanol (1:1).

Refinement top

All H atoms were positioned geometrically (C—H = 0.95–0.99 Å) and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Special details top

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
