In the title molecule, C26H20N2S2, the two benzene rings connected by a disulfide chain form a dihedral angle of 84.9 (1)°, and the two benzene rings in the two benzylideneaminophenyl fragments form dihedral angles of 34.4 (1) and 32.8 (1)°. The exhibits weak intermolecular C—H⋯S hydrogen bonds, which link the molecules into chains along [101].

A mixture of benzaldehyde (10 mol), 2,2'-diaminodiphenyl disulfide (5 mol) was refluxed in 20 mL of ethanol for 3.0 hrs. The reaction completion was monitored through thin layer
and the reaction mixture was cooled to room tempertature . The precipitate obtained was filtered, dried and crystallized from ethanol to obtain the title compound.All H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions (C-H 0.93 Å ) and treated as riding on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).
Schiff bases have received considerable attention during the last decades, mainly due to their coordinative and electronic properties (Wang et al., 1998). For this reason, much effort has been devoted to develop effcient routes for the synthesis of these classes of compounds (Bai et al., 2005). In this paper, we report the
of the title compound, (I), obtained by the reaction of benzaldehyde and 2,2'-diaminodiphenyl disulfide.In (I) (Fig. 1), the molecule has a trans configuration about the S—S bond. The bond lengths an angles are normal and are comparable to the values observed in N,N'-bis(4-(dimethylamino)benzylidene)-2,2'-diaminodiphenyl disulfide (He et al., 2011). Two benzene rings connected through disulfide chain form a dihedral angle of 84.9 (1)°, and two benzene rings in two benzylideneaniline fragments form the dihedral angles of 34.4 (1) and 32.8 (1)°, respectively.
The crystal packing of the title compound exhibits weak intermolecular C—H···S hydrogen bonds (Table 1), which link molecules into chains along [101].

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

Schiff bases have received considerable attention during the last decades, mainly due to their coordinative and electronic properties (Wang et al., 1998). For this reason, much effort has been devoted to develop effcient routes for the synthesis of these classes of compounds (Bai et al., 2005). In this paper, we report the crystal structure of the title compound, (I), obtained by the reaction of benzaldehyde and 2,2'-diaminodiphenyl disulfide.
In (I) (Fig. 1), the molecule has a trans configuration about the S—S bond. The bond lengths an angles are normal and are comparable to the values observed in N,N'-bis(4-(dimethylamino)benzylidene)-2,2'-diaminodiphenyl disulfide (He et al., 2011). Two benzene rings connected through disulfide chain form a dihedral angle of 84.9 (1)°, and two benzene rings in two benzylideneaniline fragments form the dihedral angles of 34.4 (1) and 32.8 (1)°, respectively.
The crystal packing of the title compound exhibits weak intermolecular C—H···S hydrogen bonds (Table 1), which link molecules into chains along [101].
