In the title compound, C(22)H(16)N(2)OS(2), the phenanthrene ring is nearly perpendicular to the phenyl ring, making a dihedral angle of 87.2 (2)°. Intra-molecular N-H⋯O inter-actions are present. In the crystal structure, the mol-ecules are linked through inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions. The crystal structure is also stabilized by C-H⋯π inter-actions and weak π-π contacts [centroid-centroid distance = 3.36 (6) Å].
