In the title molecule, C21H18N2S2, the C=N—N angle of 117.6 (2)° is significantly smaller than the ideal value of 120° expected for sp2-hybridized N atoms. This is probably a consequence of repulsion between the nitrogen lone pairs and the adjacent N atom, as suggested in Zheng, Qiu, Lin & Liu [Acta Cryst. (2006), E62, o1913–o1914]. The two neighbouring benzene rings form a dihedral angle of 75.95 (3)° with each other, while subtending dihedral angles of 84.18 (3) and 8.44 (2)° with the third ring in the structure.

The title compound was synthesized by the reaction of Hydrazinecarbodithioic acid benzyl ester(1 mmol, 198.3 mg) with Diphenyl-methanone(1 mmol, 182.2 mg) in ethanol(15 ml) under reflux conditions (338 K) for 5 h. The solvent was removed and the solid product recrystallized from tetrahydrofuran. After six days yellow crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction study were obtained.
All H atoms were placed in idealized positions (C—H = 0.93— 0.97 Å, N—H = 0.86 Å) and refined as riding atoms. For those bound to C, Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5Ueq(C). while for those bound to N, Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(N).

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. |

In recent years, the interesting coordination chemistry and increasingly relevant biomedical properties of ligands derived from S-benzyldithiocarbazate(SBDTC) have received much attention (Ali et al., 2002, 2008; Crouse et al., 2004; Tarafder et al., 2001, 2008). In order to search for new ligands derived from SBDTC, the title compound C21H18N2S2 (I) was synthesized and its crystal structure determined. Fig 1 shows a molecular diagram of (I), where bond lengths and angles are basically in normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987). The C=N bond length of 1.293 (3) Å(C9=N2) shows double-bond character. The C=N—N angle of 117.6 (2) ° is significantly smaller than the ideal value of 120 ° expected for sp2-hybridized N atoms. This is probably a consequence of repulsion between the nitrogen lone pairs and the adjacent N atom (Zheng et al., 2006). The C10—C15, C16—C21 benzene rings are oriented at 84.18 (3) °, 8.44 (2) ° with respect to the C1—C6 one. The dihedral angle formed by the C10—C15 and C16—C21 rings is 75.95 (3) °.
