title: Crystal structure of N,N,N-tris-[(1,3-benzo-thia-zol-2-yl)meth-yl]amine.
abstract: The title compound, C24H18N4S3, exhibits three near planar benzo-thia-zole systems in a pseudo-C 3 conformation. The dihedral angles between the planes of the benzo-thia-zole groups range from 112.56 (4) to 124.68 (4)° In the crystal, mol-ecules are connected to each other through three short C-H⋯N contacts, forming an infinite chain along [100]. The molecules are also linked by π-π interactions with each of the three five-membered thiazole rings. [inter-centroid distance range: 3.614 (1)-4.074 (1) Å, inter-planar distance range: 3.4806 (17)-3.6902 (15) Å, slippage range: 0.759 (3)-1.887 (3) Å].
