The title compound, C15H12N2O, adopts the expected near-planar geometry, the phenyl and tolyl rings being inclined relative to the oxadiazole ring by 3.8 (3) and 8.3 (2)°, respectively. This allows adjacent molecules to pack in a parallel fashion and form stacking along [010] via π–π interactions [centroid–centroid distances = 3.629 (2) and 3.723 (2) Å]. Further intermolecular interactions include C—H⋯π interactions and weak C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, giving rise to a crossed herringbone packing motif.

A red suspension of N'-benzoyl-4-methylbenzohydrazide (0.25 g, 1.0 mmol, Hua et al., 2009) and Woollins' reagent (0.54 g, 1.0 mmol) in 20 ml of dry toluene was refluxed for 7 h. Following cooling to room temperature and removal of the solvent in vacuuo the residue was purified by silica gel
(1: 9 ethyl acetate/dichloromethane eluent) to give 2-phenyl-5-p-tolyl-1,3,4-selenadiazole as a dark yellow solid in good yield (0.270 g, 90%). The title compound was formed from this by air oxidation during the growth of X-ray quality crystals from the diffusion of hexane into a dichloromethane solution of 2-phenyl-5-p-tolyl-1,3,4-selenadiazole.The crystal initially chosen appeared to be poorly diffracting at higher angles, so several others were also tried. All were found to be weakly diffracting, resulting in a number of missing independent data in the experimentally measured range. One low angle reflection (1 0 4) was omitted due to being partially behind the beamstop. All H atoms were included in calculated positions (C—H distances are 0.98 Å for methyl H atoms and 0.95 Å for phenyl H atoms) and refined as riding atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(parent atom, phenyl H atoms) or Uiso(H) = 1.5 Ueq (parent atom, methyl H atoms). The highest electron density peak is located 1.19 Å from atom O1.

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. |

The title compound (Fig. 1), previously prepared by a number of different routes (Weaver, 2004), has been prepared by a new method, reacting Woollins' reagent with N'-benzoyl-4-methylbenzohydrazide (Hua et al., 2009). It adopts an offset π-stacked packing motif, similar to those seen in related structures (Kuznetsov et al., 1998, Franco et al., 2003, and Reck et al., 2003), the oxadiazole ring interacting with both the tolyl (x, 1 + y, z) and the phenyl (x, -1 + y, z) rings of adjacent molecules [centroid-centroid distances of 3.629 (2) and 3.723 (2) Å, respectively]. As a result of this arrangement, one of the tolyl methyl H atoms forms a C—H···π interaction with the adjacent tolyl π-system (Table 1). The stacks run along the [0 1 0] direction, and form herringbone sheets in the (0 0 1) plane (Fig. 2), via further C—H···π interactions (Table 1). These sheets resemble the herringbone packing motif seen previously in the structures of 2,5-diphenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole (Kuznetsov et al., 1998, and Franco et al., 2003). However, adjacent sheets do not align, and instead are offset, forming a crossed herringbone pattern (Fig. 3), interacting via C—H···N hydrogen bonds (Table 1).
