title: 2,3,5,6-Tetra-fluoro-1,4-bis-({[(thio-phen-2-yl)methyl-idene]amino}-meth-yl)benzene.
abstract: In the title compound, C18H12F4N2S2, a bis-thio-phenyl Schiff base ligand with a perifluorinated aromatic core, the complete molecule is generated by crystallographic inversion symmetry. The thio-phene and tetra-fluorinated benzene rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 77.38 (4)°. The crystal structure exhibits C-H⋯F hydrogen bonds, resulting in supra-molecular chains along the c-axis direction.
