The title mol­ecule, C18H12N4S3, consists of three essentially planar fragments, viz. two methyl-substituted benzonitrile rings and a substituted thia­diazole ring. The dihedral angles between the substituted benzonitrile rings and the central thia­diazole ring are 28.29 (10) and 78.83 (6)°, and the dihedral angle between the two benzonitrile rings is 72.89 (7)°.

Comment top

1,3,4-thiadiazole-2,5-dithiol and its derivatives are interesting compounds that have attracted the attention of researchers because of their wide range of applications in many fields, such as the determination of trace elements, the synthesis of novel heterocyclic compounds with antimicrobial activity(El-Shekeil et al. 1988), advanced materials, and battery cathodes (Jinxia et al.2003, Tarafder et al., (2000)). In this paper, we report the structure of one such derviative, the title compound (I).

In (I, Fig. 1) all bond lengths and angles are normal. There are three planar fragments in the molecule, viz. the central S1—S2—S3—C1—C2—N1—N2 plane with C1 farthest out at (0.0077 (19) Å) and the two benzonitrile systems C11—C18 and N4 with C11 farthest out at 0.0280 (19) Å) and C3—C19 and N3 with N3 farthest out at 0.0738 (21) Å. The dihedral angles between the central substituted ring and benzonitrile systems are 28.29 (10)° and 78.83 (6)° and 72.89 (7)° between the two benzonitrile moieties. There is no evidence of typical hydrogenn bonding or intermolecular π–π interactions. Only van-der-waals interactions are observed in the crystal is packing (Fig.2).

Experimental top

A dry 50 ml flask was charged with 1,3,4-thiadiazole-2,5-dithiol (10 mmol), 4-(bromomethyl)benzonitrile (20 mmol), K2CO3(10 mmol), and methanol (30 mL). The mixture was stirred with refluxing for 4 h and then was poured into water (40 ml), the precipitate was washed with water for 2–3 times and purified by recrystallization from methanol to give the crystals of the target material.

Refinement top

All the C—H hydrogen atoms were calculated geometrically and were allowed to ride on the C atoms to which they are bonded, with acyclic C—H distances ranging as 0.97 Å, phenyl C—H distances ranging as 0.93 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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.
