Abstract:
In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(20)H(18)N(2)O(2)S, molecules are linked by bifurcated C-H···O hydrogen-bond interactions, giving rise to chains whose links are composed of alternating centrosymmetrically disposed pairs of molecules and characterized by R(2)(2)(10) and R(2)(2)(20) hydrogen-bonding motifs. Also, N-H···S hydrogen bonds form infinite zigzag chains along the [010] direction, which exhibit the C(4) motif. Hirshfeld surface and fingerprint plots were used to explore the intermolecular interactions in the crystal structure. This analysis confirms the important role of C-H···O hydrogen bonds in the molecular conformation and in the crystal structure, providing a potentially useful tool for a full understanding of the intermolecular interactions in acylthiourea derivatives.
