The structure of the title compound, C30H30N4O4S2, is highly conditioned in
the solid state by two strong N-H...N interactions. The values of the dist
ances between the aminic N atoms [5.865 (3) Angstrom] and the iminic N atom
s [2.930 (4) Angstrom], in conjunction with the long distance between the S
atoms of the two tosyl groups [7.673 (1) Angstrom], suggest that when the
molecule acts as a ligand it will provide a single cavity for N, coordinati
on to the metal centre.
