title: N'-(3-Thienylmethyl-ene)pyridine-2-carbohydrazide.
abstract: The title compound, C(11)H(9)N(3)OS, was prepared to investigate the coordination chemistry of thio-phene-containing ligands as precursors to inter-esting metallopolymers. The mol-ecule is nearly planar. The angle between the thio-phene and pyridine rings is 8.63 (4)° and features the expected trans configuration about the imine bond. The structure is stabilized by a weak inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond. The distance between centroids of adjacent thio-phene rings [3.67 (8) Å] suggests the presence of π-π inter-actions.
