N-(4-Benzoylphenyl)pyridine-2-carbothioamide

In the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C19H14N2OS, two geometrically different molecules, A and B, are present. In A, the dihedral angles between the central benzene ring and pendant phenyl and pyridine groups are 56.79 (14) and 8.3 (2)°, respectively. The equivalent data for molecule B are 54.08 (12) and 16.7 (2)°, respectively. An intramolecular N—H...N hydrogen bond closes an S(5) ring in each molecule and the S and O atoms have an anti disposition. In the crystal, molecules are linked by a single C—H...O interaction into A+B pairs.
