2,2′-(Disulfanediyl)dibenzoic acid–N,N′-bis(4-pyridylmethyl)ethanedithioamide (1/1)

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title co-crystal, C14H14N4S2·C14H10O4S2, comprises a twisted 2,2′-(disulfanedi­yl)dibenzoic acid mol­ecule [dihedral angle between the benzene rings = 83.53 (14)°] and a U-shaped mol­ecule of N,N′-bis­(4-pyridyl­meth­yl)ethane­dithio­amide in which intra­molecular N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds are observed. Two mol­ecules of each form a centrosymmetric ring, with an extended chair conformation, mediated by carbox­yl–pyridine O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds between the carboxylic acid groups of two 2,2′-(disulfanediyl)dibenzoic acid molecules and pyridine-N atoms of two N,N’-bis(4-pyridylmethyl)ethanedithioamide molecules. The tetra­meric aggregates are linked into a supra­molecular chain along the b axis via amide–carbonyl N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
