4-{2-[2-(4-Chlorobenzylidene)hydrazinylidene]-3,6-dihydro-2H-1,3,4-thiadiazin-5-yl}-3-phenylsydnone

The title compound, C18H13ClN6O2S, exists in trans and cis configurations with respect to the acyclic C=N bonds [C=N = 1.2837 (15) and 1.3000 (14) Å, respectively]. The 3,6-dihydro-2H-1,3,4-thiadiazine ring adopts a half-boat conformation. The sydnone ring is approximately planar [maximum deviation = 0.002 (1) Å] and forms dihedral angles of 50.45 (7) and 61.21 (6)° with the aromatic rings. In the crystal, intermolecular N—H⋯N, C—H⋯Cl and C—H⋯S hydrogen bonds link the molecules into layers parallel to ab plane. The crystal packing is stabilized by C—H⋯π interactions and further consolidated by π–π interactions involving the phenyl rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.6306 (7) Å].
