In the title thiophene-derived Schiff base compound, C12H8N2S2, the thiophene ring is slighty rotated from the benzothiazole group mean plane, giving a dihedral angle of 12.87 (6)°. The largest displacement of an atom in the molecule from the nine-atom mean plane defined by the non-H atoms of the benzothiazole ring system is 0.572 (1) Å, exhibited by the C atom at the 3-position of the thiophene ring. In the crystal, weak C—H⋯S hydrogen bonds involving the thiophene group S atom and the 4-position thiophene C—H group of a symmetry-related molecule lead to an infinite one-dimensional chain colinear with the c axis. The structure is further stabilized by π–π interactions; the distance between the thiazole ring centroid and the centroid of an adjacent benzene ring is 3.686 (1) Å. The crystal studied was an with the ratio of components 0.73 (3):0.27 (3).

A mixture of 2-aminobenzothiazole (1.27 g; 8.45 mmol) and thiophene-2-carbaldehyde (0.92 ml; 10.2 mmol) in methanol (50 ml) was heated to reflux for 24 h. The resulting orange solution was allowed to cool to room temperature and concentrated by rotary evaporation under reduced pressure. Dry toluene (45 ml) was added to the solution and heated to reflux with a Dean and Stark apparatus for an additional 24 h. Upon cooling the title compound was isolated as brown, needle-shaped crystals.
The positions of all C-bonded hydrogen atoms were calculated using the standard riding model of SHELXL97 (Sheldrick, 2008) with C—H(aromatic) distances of 0.93 Å and Uiso = 1.2Ueq(C).
Benzothiazoles are naturally occurring molecules which consist of a 5-membered 1,3-thiazole ring fused to a benzene ring. Their derivatives are abundantly distributed in nature and have been shown to have very interesting pharmacological activity, particularly antibacterial, antifungal, antitumor and antiviral properties (Yadav & Malipatil, 2011; Singh & Seghal, 1988; Pattan et al., 2005). The heterocyclic scaffold is readily substituted at the 2-position of the thiazole ring, allowing for derivatization.
The thiophene ring of the title compound (I) is not in the same plane as the 1,3-benzothiazole moiety, with a dihedral angle of 13.6 (1)° relative to the benzthiazole ring. This out-of-plane rotation of the thiophene results in the carbon atom in the 3-position of the thiophene ring (C10) sitting 0.572 (1) Å from the 9-atom mean plane defined by all non-hydrogen atoms of the benzthiazole ring system. The C8—N2 bond distance of 1.290 (1) Å and the C7—N2—C8 bond angle of 118.12 (7)° emphasize the sp2
of the imino nitrogen atom (refer to Figure 1 for the atom numbering scheme). An (E)-configuration about the imine bond is observed for this Schiff base moiety.The structure exhibits both hydrogen bonding and π···π interactions. The distance between the centroid of the benzene ring and the centroid of the thiazole ring of an adjacent molecule is 3.686 (1) Å. In addition to the π···π interactions there are non-classical hydrogen bonds between the thiophene sulfur atom, S2, and the thiophene hydrogen atom H11 of an adjacent molecule. This hydrogen bond links the molecules into infinite, one-dimensional hydrogen-bonded chains, which are co-linear with the c-axis. The adjacent, hydrogen-bonded molecules are not both in the same plane, the 24-atom mean planes of two adjacent molecules make an angle of 75.9 (1)° to each other. Although the hydrogen bonds are not likely very strong as they are only marginally shorter than the sum of the van der Waals radii (0.066 Å), these intermolecular interactions can stabilize the lattice.

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. |

Benzothiazoles are naturally occurring molecules which consist of a 5-membered 1,3-thiazole ring fused to a benzene ring. Their derivatives are abundantly distributed in nature and have been shown to have very interesting pharmacological activity, particularly antibacterial, antifungal, antitumor and antiviral properties (Yadav & Malipatil, 2011; Singh & Seghal, 1988; Pattan et al., 2005). The heterocyclic scaffold is readily substituted at the 2-position of the thiazole ring, allowing for derivatization.
The thiophene ring of the title compound (I) is not in the same plane as the 1,3-benzothiazole moiety, with a dihedral angle of 13.6 (1)° relative to the benzthiazole ring. This out-of-plane rotation of the thiophene results in the carbon atom in the 3-position of the thiophene ring (C10) sitting 0.572 (1) Å from the 9-atom mean plane defined by all non-hydrogen atoms of the benzthiazole ring system. The C8—N2 bond distance of 1.290 (1) Å and the C7—N2—C8 bond angle of 118.12 (7)° emphasize the sp2 hybridization of the imino nitrogen atom (refer to Figure 1 for the atom numbering scheme). An (E)-configuration about the imine bond is observed for this Schiff base moiety.
The structure exhibits both hydrogen bonding and π···π interactions. The distance between the centroid of the benzene ring and the centroid of the thiazole ring of an adjacent molecule is 3.686 (1) Å. In addition to the π···π interactions there are non-classical hydrogen bonds between the thiophene sulfur atom, S2, and the thiophene hydrogen atom H11 of an adjacent molecule. This hydrogen bond links the molecules into infinite, one-dimensional hydrogen-bonded chains, which are co-linear with the c-axis. The adjacent, hydrogen-bonded molecules are not both in the same plane, the 24-atom mean planes of two adjacent molecules make an angle of 75.9 (1)° to each other. Although the hydrogen bonds are not likely very strong as they are only marginally shorter than the sum of the van der Waals radii (0.066 Å), these intermolecular interactions can stabilize the lattice.
