(Received 14 March 2013; accepted 14 May 2013; online 18 May 2013)

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C10H8N2S2, is composed of two independent half-mol­ecules, each residing on a center of symmetry. In the crystal, weak C—H⋯π inter­actions join the two symmetry-independent molecules together into interlinked chains parallel to [011]. The crystal structure was refined as a two-component pseudo-merohedral twin using the twin law 001 0-10 100. The refined domain fractions are 0.516 (3) and 0.484 (3).

Comment top

The title compound was a side product in the attempted reduction of a nitro-substituted benzimidazole derivative but was subsequently rationally synthesized as outlined in the experimental section.

Thiophene-2-carbaldehyde azine crystallizes with two half-molecules in the asymmetric unit. Each sits on a crystallographically required center of symmetry. Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the two molecules with the atom-labeling scheme. The hydrazine substitutents adopt a (1E,2E) configuration, as required by the crystallographically imposed symmetry. The two molecules are essentially planar. The thiophene containing S1 is canted 1.63 (12)° from the molecular plane and the thiophene containing S2 is canted 1.63 (15)° from the molecular plane. The N1—C1—C2—S2 and N2—C6—C7—S2 torsional angles are 0.4 (6)° and 1.8 (7)°, respectively, and the N1'-N1—C1—C2 and N2'-N2—C6—C7 torsional angles are 178.3 (4)° and 178.9 (4)°, respectively. The orientation of the substituents is similar to that found for pyridine-4-carbaldehyde azine, 1.12 (9)°, (Shanmuga Sundara Raj et al., 2000) and the indole ring in (E)-1-diphenylmethylidene-2-[(1H-indol-3-yl)methylidene]hydrazine, 0.95 (10)°, (Archana et al., 2010).

A view of the unit cell is shown in Figure 2. Weak C—H···π interactions between the symmetry independent molecules result in chains parallel to [011]. The C1—H1···C8 and C1—H1···C9 intermolecular distances are 2.77 and 2.85 Å, respectively. There is a short intermolecular distance of C8—H8···C4 (2.77 Å).

Experimental top

0.126 ml (4.05 mmol) of hydrazine hydrate in 1 ml of ethanol was slowly added to 0.82 ml (0.98 g, 8.8 mmol) of 2-thiophene carboxaldehyde in 35 ml of ethanol at room temperature with stirring. The reaction was refluxed for 4 h and monitored by TLC. The reaction mixture was cooled to 0°C and the product was obtained by vacuum filtration. 0.32 g obtained (33% yield). Rf = 0.88 (EtOAc/EtOH, 2:1 (v/v) on silica gel). mp = 147–149°C. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ, 8.80 (s, 2H); 7.50 (d, 2H); 7.44 (d, 2H); 7.14 (dd, 2H). 13C NMR (CDCl3): δ, 155.80, 139.00, 132.50, 130.04, 127.84.

Single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained by slow evaporation of an ethanol/ethylacetate solution.

Refinement top

The autosolve routine of the APEXII software (Bruker, 2010) chose an orthorhombic, C-centered cell, but no suitable space group could be found. Subsequently, the structure was solved in P21/n and refined to R1 = 0.17 and S = 3.27. Refinement as a pseudo-merohedral twin with the twin law 001 0–10 100 resulted in a dramatic improvement in the model. The domain fractions refined to 0.516 (3) and 0.484 (3).

The H atoms were refined using a riding model with a C—H distance of 0.95 Å and the thermal parameters were set using the approximation Uiso = 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.
