S-benzyldithiocarbazate was synthesized as described in the literature (Chew et al., 2004). The title compound was synthesized as described in the literature (Ali et al., 2004). To 9,10-phenanthrenequinone in 60 ml of absolute ethyl alcohol was added a solution of S-benzyldithiocarbazate (1.00 mmol) in 20 ml of absolute ethyl alcohol dropwise. The red-brown solution was refluxed for 5.0 h at 353 K. The resultant solution was filtered and left in air for a few days, yielding brown block-like crystals.
In (I), All H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding atoms, with C—H = 0.93 (CH) and 0.97 Å (CH2) and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C), and with N—H = 0.86 Å (NH) and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(N).
Schiff bases are versatile compounds which possess excellent biologically properties (Bhandari et al.,2008). Recently, some Schiff bases derived from the reaction of S-benzyldithiocarbazate with aldehydes or ketones have been reported (Zhou et al., 2002; Ali et al., 2003a,b; How et al., 2007; Tarafder et al., 2008). We synthesized the title compound ((Fig. 1)) and report herein its crystal structure.
In the title compound, the bond lengths and angles are comparable to the values in the similar Schiff bases (Zhou et al., 2002). The phenanthrene ring (C1···C14) and dithiocarbazate (N1/N2/S1/S2/C15) fragments lie essentially in the same plane, with a mean deviation from the least-squares plane of 0.0385 Å. The phenanthrene ring (C1···C14) is nearly perpendicular to the phenyl ring (C17···C22) with a dihedral angle of 87.2°.
In the crystal structure, there are intramolecular N—H···O type hydrogen bonds (Table 1). The crystal structure is consolidated by intermolecular C—H···O [3.239 Å] (Fig. 2). It is also stabilized by C—H···Π interactions such as C5—H5···Π (3.642 Å) and C9—H9···Π (3.643 Å) involving phenanthrene ring and phenyl ring of the adjacent molecules respectively. In addition, π-π interactions between the adjacent phenanthrene rings (centroid-centroid distance = 3.36 (6) Å) may also stabilize the crystal packing.

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. |

Schiff bases are versatile compounds which possess excellent biologically properties (Bhandari et al.,2008). Recently, some Schiff bases derived from the reaction of S-benzyldithiocarbazate with aldehydes or ketones have been reported (Zhou et al., 2002; Ali et al., 2003a,b; How et al., 2007; Tarafder et al., 2008). We synthesized the title compound ((Fig. 1)) and report herein its crystal structure.
In the title compound, the bond lengths and angles are comparable to the values in the similar Schiff bases (Zhou et al., 2002). The phenanthrene ring (C1···C14) and dithiocarbazate (N1/N2/S1/S2/C15) fragments lie essentially in the same plane, with a mean deviation from the least-squares plane of 0.0385 Å. The phenanthrene ring (C1···C14) is nearly perpendicular to the phenyl ring (C17···C22) with a dihedral angle of 87.2°.
In the crystal structure, there are intramolecular N—H···O type hydrogen bonds (Table 1). The crystal structure is consolidated by intermolecular C—H···O [3.239 Å] (Fig. 2). It is also stabilized by C—H···Π interactions such as C5—H5···Π (3.642 Å) and C9—H9···Π (3.643 Å) involving phenanthrene ring and phenyl ring of the adjacent molecules respectively. In addition, π-π interactions between the adjacent phenanthrene rings (centroid-centroid distance = 3.36 (6) Å) may also stabilize the crystal packing.
