In the title compound, C18H13Cl2N3OS, the eight atoms comprising the central imidazo/thiadiazolethiadiazole residue are coplanar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.009 Å). The dihedral angle of 8.72 (13)° between the dichlorobenzene and tolyl rings reflects a twist about the O—C(benzene) bond; the Cm—O—Cb—Cb torsion angle = −168.5 (2)° (m = methylene C and b is benzene C). Supramolecular tapes along the b axis are found in the which are mediated by π–π interactions occurring between centrosymmetrically related thiadiazole rings [inter-ring centroid distance = 3.6907 (16) Å] and between the benzene and tolyl rings [inter-ring centroid distance = 3.7597 (16) Å].

The title compound was prepared according to the reported method (Abdel-Wahab et al., 2011). Colourless crystals were obtained from DMF solution by slow evaporation at room temperature.
Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H 0.93 to 0.97 Å) and were included in the
in the riding model approximation, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Uequiv(C) or 1.5Uequiv(C).Data collection: CrysAlis PRO (Agilent, 2011); cell

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 (I) was investigated in relation to the established biological activities exhibited by imidazothiadiazoles (Abdel-Wahab et al., 2011; Karki et al., 2011; Khazi et al., 2011).
In (I), Fig. 1, the eight atoms comprising the fused imidazo/thiadiazolethiadiazole residue are co-planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.009 Å). This system forms dihedral angles of 6.01 (10) and 3.28 (11)° with the attached dichlorobenzene and tolyl rings, respectively. The r.m.s. deviation from the least-squares plane for all 25 non-hydrogen atoms is 0.085 Å with maximum deviations of 0.180 (2) and -0.197 (1) for the O1 and Cl1 atoms, respectively. This is consistent with a small twist about the C1—O1 bond with the C7—O1—C1—C2 torsion angle being -168.5 (2)°. The S and O atoms are syn and are separated by 2.823 (3) Å. A small twist was also observed in the structure of the closely related compound 2-isobutyl-6-phenylimidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole (Fun et al., 2011).
In the crystal packing, molecules aggregate into tapes along the b axis via π–π interactions occurring between centrosymmetrically related thiadiazole rings [inter-ring centroid distance = 3.6907 (16) Å for symmetry operation: 2 - x, -y, 1 - z] and between the benzene and tolyl rings [inter-ring centroid distance = 3.7597 (16) Å for symmetry operation: 2 - x, 1 - y, 1 - z], Fig. 2. Columns stack with no specific interactions between them, Fig. 3.
