S-Benzyl 3-[1-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)ethylidene]dithiocarbazate: crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis

In the title dithiocarbazate ester, C 16 H 17 N 3 S 2 (systematic name: ( Z )-{[(benzylsulfanyl)methanethioyl]amino}[1-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)ethylidene]amine), the central methylidenehydrazinecarbodithioate (C 2 N 2 S 2 ) core is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0111 Å) and forms dihedral angles of 71.67 (3)° with the approximately orthogonally inclined thioester phenyl ring, and 7.16 (7)° with the approximately coplanar substituted pyridyl...
