Abstract
The imine residue [C=N = 1.268 (3)angstrom; conformation = E] is twisted [N-N-C-N = 87.8 (2)degrees] out of the plane (r.m.s. deviation = 0.016 angstrom) of the central 1,2,4-triazole ring in the title compound, C30H34F2N6S. A small twist also occurs between the imine and terminal benzene rings [N-C-CC = -69.8 (2)degrees]. The piperazine ring (chair conformation) occupies a position almost normal to the central plane [NN-C-N = 87.8 (2)degrees]. In the crystal, the molecules are consolidated into a three-dimensional architecture via C-H center dot center dot center dot S, C-H center dot center dot center dot pi and pi-pi interactions, the latter between centrosymmetrically related difluorobenzene rings [intercentroid distance = 3.9389 (18) angstrom].
