In the solid state, the title compound, C22H10N2S, forms centrosymmetric dimers by pairs of non-classical C—H⋯S hydrogen bonds linking approximately coplanar molecules. The benzene ring involved in this interaction makes a dihedral angle of only 7.21 (16)° with the thiophene ring, while the other benzene ring is twisted somewhat out of the plane, with a dihedral angle of 39.58 (9)°. The hydrogen-bonded dimers stack on top of each other with an interplanar spacing of 3.44 Å. C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds link together stacks that run in approximately perpendicular directions. Each molecule thus interacts with 12 adjacent molecules, five of them approaching closer than the sum of the van der Waals radii for the relevant atoms. Optimization of the inter-stack contacts contributes to the non-planarity of the molecule.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
