title: (E)-1-Phenyl-2-({5-[(1E)-(2-phenyl-hydrazin-1-yl-idene)meth-yl]-2-thien-yl}methyl-idene)hydrazine.
abstract: The title mol-ecule, C(18)H(16)N(4)S, adopts a U-shape with the aromatic groups lying syn and orientated in the same direction as the thio-phene S atom. The conformation about each of the C=N bonds is E. Overall, the mol-ecule is curved as seen in the dihedral angle of 30.26 (19)° formed between the terminal benzene rings. In the crystal, supra-molecular chains along the c axis are formed by a combination of N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds and N-H⋯π inter-actions.
