title: Crystal structure of (2Z,5Z)-3-(4-meth-oxy-phen-yl)-2-[(4-meth-oxy-phenyl)-imino]-5-[(E)-3-(2-nitro-phen-yl)allyl-idene]-1,3-thia-zolidin-4-one.
abstract: In the title compound, C26H21N3O5S, the thia-zole ring is nearly planar with a maximum deviation of 0.017 (2) Å, and is twisted with respect to the three benzene rings, making dihedral angles of 25.52 (12), 85.77 (12) and 81.85 (13)°. In the crystal, weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C-H⋯π inter-actions link the mol-ecules into a three-dimensional supra-molecular architecture. Aromatic π-π stacking is also observed between the parallel nitro-benzene rings of neighbouring mol-ecules, the centroid-to-centroid distance being 3.5872 (15) Å.
