The asymmetric unit of the title solvate, C 17 H 16 N 8 S 2 Á0.25C 3 H 7 NO, consists of two C 17 H 16 N 8 S 2 molecules and a dimethylformamide molecule disordered about a crystallographic inversion centre. Both triazole molecules feature an intramolecular C-HÁ Á ÁN interaction, which generates an S(6) ring in each case. In the crystal, the components are linked by N-HÁ Á ÁN and N-HÁ Á ÁS hydrogen bonds to form [001] chains, which are cross-linked by weak C-HÁ Á ÁO, C-HÁ Á ÁN and C-HÁ Á ÁS interactions.
Structure descriptionHeterocyclic compounds that contain the thiosemicarbazone residue show a number of biological applications (see, for example, Salman et al., 2016;Yusuf & Jain, 2014; AbdelWahab et al., 2017). As part of our studies in this area, we now describe the synthesis and structure of the title solvate.The asymmetric unit consists of two independent C 17 H 16 N 8 S 2 molecules (A and B) and half a molecule of dimethyl formamide solvent disordered about an inversion centre (Fig. 1). In molecule A, the dihedral angles between the triazole ring and the toluyl and imidazole rings are 81.1 (2) and 8.5 (2) , respectively. Equivalent values for molecule B
