The molecular skeleton of the title molecule, C26H20N6S2, adopts a cis conformation with the two arms positioned on one side of the benzene ring plane. Intramolecular π–π interactions between the pyrimidine rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.654 (2) Å] and between the pyridine rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.775 (2) Å] help to set the molecular conformation; the pyrimidine rings, as well as the pyridine rings, are nearly parallel, forming dihedral angles of 4.12 (14) and 2.46 (14)°, respectively.

All solvents and chemicals were of analytical grade and were used without further purification. The title compound was prepared by similar procedure reported in the literature (Dong et al., 2008; 2009), To a solution of 4-(4-pyridinyl)pyrimidine-2-thiol (3.78 g, 20 mmol) and sodium hydroxide (0.80 g, 20 mmol) in dry ethanol (300 ml), 1,2-bis(bromomethyl)benzene (2.64 g, 10 mmol) in CCl4 (30 ml) was added. The mixture was stirred and refluxed for 8 h. After cooling, precipitates were filtered, washed in water and ethanol, and dried in vacuum. Anal. Calcd for C26H20N6S2: C, 64.98; H, 4.19; N, 17.49%. Found: C, 65.07; H, 4.52; N, 17.34%. Single crystals of ligang suitable for X-ray diffraction were grown from methanol solution by slow evaporation in air at room temperature.
All hydrogen atoms were geometrically positioned (C—H 0.93–0.97 Å) and refined as riding, 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. |

Remarkable attention has been paid to the rational design and assembly of new coordination polymers with heterocyclic thiolates or thioethers in recent years. In our previous work, we reported aserials dithioether ligands (Dong et al., 2008; 2009; Huang et al., 2007). As our continuing study, herein we report the molecular structure of the title compound - the newly synthesized ligand derived from 4-(4-pyridinyl)pyrimidine-2-thiol.
The molecular structure of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. The molecule adopts a cis conformation with two arms positioned on one side of the benzene ring plane. It is noted that intramolecular π-π interactions between the pyrimidinyl rings [centroid-centroid distance of 3.654 (2) Å] and between the pyridinyl rings [centroid-centroid distance of 3.775 (2) Å] set the molecular conformation - the pyrimidinyl rings, as well as the pyridinyl ones, are nearly parallel forming dihedral angles of 4.12 (14)° and 2.46 (14)°, respectively.
