title: 4,4-Bis(4-methyl-phenyl-sulfan-yl)-1,1-diphenyl-2-aza-buta-1,3-diene.
abstract: In the title compound, C(29)H(25)NS(2), both the Cl atoms of the aza-diene precursor 4,4-dichloro-1,1-diphenyl-2-aza-buta-1,3-diene are replaced by two vicinal S-p-tolyl substituents attached to the terminal C atom of a π-conjugated 2-aza-butadiene array. The aza-diene chain is planar to within 0.01 Å. One of the phenyl rings seems to be slightly π-conjugated with the aza-diene core [dihedral angle 5.1 (2)°].
