Anomeric effect and hydrogen-bonded supramolecular motif in 5-(3-fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl)-1-[(3-fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl)aminomethyl]-1,3,5-triazinane-2-thione.

In the title compound, C18H20F2N4O2S, the triazinane-2-thione ring adopts an envelope conformation, the ring substituents lie on the same side of the mean plane of the heterocyclic ring and the exo lp—N—C—Ntriaz unit (lp is a lone pair and triaz is the triazinane ring) exhibits an antiperiplanar orientation, which is shown to be governed by strong anomeric effects. Molecules are linked into a complex three-dimensional framework by a combination of two N—H...S hydrogen bonds, three C—H...F hydrogen bonds and a π–π stacking interaction.
