The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C21H25N3O2S·0.5C2H3N, contains two independent molecules with almost similar structural properties along with a solvent molecule of acetonitrile. The compound exists in the E conformation with respect to the azomethine C=N double bond. The hydrazinecarbothioamide moieties in both independent molecules are almost planar [maximum deviations of 0.013 (2) and 0.007 (2) Å]. The molecular conformation is stabilized in each case by an intramolecular N—H...N hydrogen bond. In the crystal, pairs of N—H...S hydrogen bonds link each of the independent molecules into inversion dimers. The dimers are interconnected by means of three C—H...π interactions.
