1-(Biphenyl-4-ylcarbon-yl)-3-(4-nitro-phen-yl)thio-urea
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(20)H(15)N(3)O(3)S, the two benzene rings of the biphenyl group form a dihedral angle of 40.11 (15)°. The conformation of the mol-ecule is trans-cis and is stabilized by two intra-molecular N-H⋯O and C-H⋯S hydrogen bonds. In the crystal structure, the mol-ecules are linked by weak π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.991 (2) Å].
