The title molecule, C18H16N4S, adopts a U-shape with the aromatic groups lying syn and orientated in the same direction as the thiophene S atom. The conformation about each of the C=N bonds is E. Overall, the molecule is curved as seen in the dihedral angle of 30.26 (19)° formed between the terminal benzene rings. In the crystal, supramolecular chains along the c axis are formed by a combination of N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds and N—H⋯π interactions.

Solutions of phenylhydrazine.hydrochloride (0.22 g, 2 mmol) in EtOH (10 ml) and 2,5-thiophenedicarbaldehyde (0.14 g, 1 mmol) in EtOH (10 ml) were mixed. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 1 h, and rotary evaporated. The solid residue was recrystallised twice from aq. EtOH (v;v 1:2), m.p. 498-500 K. lit value 504 K (Vaysse & Pastour 1964) and 483-484 K (Novitskii et al., 1961).
The C-bound H atoms were geometrically placed (C–H = 0.95 Å) and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). The N-bound H atoms were located from a difference map and refined with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(N).

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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 > 2σ(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. |

Hydrazone and amide derivatives of thiophene have found many uses, for example in optoelectronic application (Michaleviciute et al., 2007), as optical non-linear materials (Kwon et al., 2009), as hole transporting materials (Michaleviciute et al., 2009), and as biological agents (Sonar & Crooks, 2009; Mellado et al., 2009; Satyanarayana et al., 2008, Lourenço et al., 2007). In continuation of structural studies on thiophene derivatives (Wardell et al., 2007; Nogueira et al., 2010; Ferreira et al., 2009; Wardell et al., 2010; de Lima et al., 2010), we now report the structure of 2,5-thiophenedicarbaldehyde bis(phenylhydrazone), (I).
The molecule of (I) has a U-shaped conformation as the benzene rings are syn, lying to the same side of the molecule as the thiophene-S atom, Fig. 1. The conformation about each of the C5═N1 [1.282 (4) Å] and C12═N3 [1.287 (4) Å] double bonds is E. There are twists in the molecule, primarily about the hydrazine bonds, as seen in the values of the C5/N1/N2/C6 and C12/N3/N4/C13 torsion angles of -171.4 (3) and 165.1 (3) °. respectively. The dihedral angle formed between the two benzene rings is 30.26 (19) °.
Each of the hydrazine-N–H atoms participates in a significant intermolecular interactions to stabilise a supramolecular chain along the c axis, Fig. 2. The N2—H atom forms a conventional, albeit weak, N–H···N interaction, Table 1. The N4–H atom participates in a N–H···π interaction [N4–H···ring centroid(C6–C11)i distance = 2.81 (5) Å, N4···ring centroid(C6–C11)i = 3.415 (4) Å with an angle at H = 126 (3) ° for i: 2- y, 1+ x - y, 2/3+ z]. The resultant chain is further stabilised by C–H···N2 contacts, Table 1. The primary contacts between supramolecular chains are of the type C–H···π where the π-system is derived from the thiophene ring [C17–H···ring centroid(S1,C1–C4)ii = 2.87 Å, C17······ring centroid(S1,C1–C4)ii = 3.798 (6) Å, with angle at H = 165 ° for ii: 1-x+y, 1-x, -2/3+z], Fig. 3.
