摘要
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C23H15N3S, contains two crystallographically independent molecules. The pyridine rings adopt envelope conformations. The thiophene rings are oriented at dihedral angles of 77.97 (4)/53.53 (4) and 78.44 (4)/57.11 (4)degrees with respect to the phenyl rings, while the dihedral angles between the phenyl rings are 48.51 (4) and 44.49 (4)degrees. In the crystal structure, intermolecular N-H center dot center dot center dot N hydrogen bonds link the molecules into chains along the c axis. The S, C and H atoms of one of the thiophene rings are disordered over two orientations, with occupancy ratios of 0.314 (15): 0.686 (15).
