Probing the relationships between molecular conformation and intermolecular contacts inN,N-dibenzyl-N′-(furan-2-carbonyl)thiourea
In the crystal structure of the title compound, C 20 H 18 N 2 O 2 S, molecules are linked by bifurcated C—H...O hydrogen-bond interactions, giving rise to chains whose links are composed of alternating centrosymmetrically disposed pairs of molecules and characterized by R 2 2 (10) and R 2 2 (20) hydrogen-bonding motifs. Also, N—H...S hydrogen bonds form infinite zigzag chains along the [010] direction, which exhibit the C (4) motif. Hirshfeld surface and fingerprint plots were used to explore the intermolecular interactions in the crystal structure. This analysis confirms the important role of C—H...O hydrogen bonds in the molecular conformation and in the crystal structure, providing a potentially useful tool for a full understanding of the intermolecular interactions in acylthiourea derivatives.
