Crystal Structure of Bis{1-methylthio-1-[1-phenyl-1-(1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-oxo-4,5-dihydropyrazol-4-ylene)-methylamino]-iminomethyl} Disulfide with the ?U? Conformation

Crystal structure of 1,2-bis-((benzyl-sulfan-yl){2-[1-(2-hy-droxy-phen-yl)ethyl-idene]hydrazin-1-yl-idene}meth-yl)disulfane

The title compound, C32H30N4O2S4, consists of two Schiff base moieties, namely two S-benzyl-β-N-(2-hy-droxy-phenyl-ethyl-idene)di-thio-carbazate groups, which are connected through an S-S single bond. These two moieties are twisted with respect to each other, with a dihedral angle of 87.88 (4)° between the S2C=N planes. A bifurcated intra-molecular O-H⋯(N,S) hydrogen bond is observed in each moiety. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by pairs of C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into inversion dimers. The dimers are further stacked in a column along the b axis through weak C-H⋯π inter-actions.
