title: Benzyl 3-[(E)-2-nitro-benzyl-idene]dithio-carbazate.
abstract: The title compound, C(15)H(13)N(3)O(2)S(2), was obtained from a condensation reaction of benzyl dithio-carbazate and 2-nitro-benzaldehyde. In the mol-ecule, the nearly planar dithio-carbazate fragment [r.m.s deviation = 0.0264 Å] is oriented at dihedral angles of 7.25 (17) and 74.09 (9)°with respect to the two benzene rings. The nitro group is twisted by a dihedral angle of 22.4 (7)° to the attached benzene ring. The nitro-benzene ring and dithio-carbazate fragment are located on the opposite sides of the C=N bond, showing an E configuration. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via inter-molecular N-H⋯S hydrogen bonds, forming centrosymmetric supra-molecular dimers. Weak C-H⋯π inter-action is also observed in the crystal structure.
