(Pyridin-4-yl)methyl N'-(3-phenyl-allyl-idene)hydrazinecarbodithio-ate

In the title compound, C(16)H(15)N(3)S(2), the central C(2)N(2)S(2) residue is planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.045 Å) and the pyridyl and benzene rings are inclined and approximately coplanar to this plane, respectively [dihedral angles = 72.85 (9) and 10.73 (9)°], so that, overall, the mol-ecule adopts an L-shape. The conformation about each of the N=C [1.290 (3) Å] and C=C [1.340 (3) Å] bonds is E. Supra-molecular chains along [1-10] are stabilized by N-H⋯N(pyridine) hydrogen bonding and these are connected into a double layer that stacks along the c-axis direction by C-H⋯π(pyridine) inter-actions.
