The syntax requires then between if and else.
And what does the for loop with STRING?
You probably want
Code:
## added newline boundry seperator
nl="
"
for f in "$DIR"/f1
do
    STRING=$(awk -v ref="/$S5/" 'match($0, ref) {print $2}' "$f")
    if [[ $nl$folders$nl != *$n$STRING/$nl* ]] ## only execute file on match
    then
       mkdir $STRING 
    fi
done

Note that in [[ ]] the == operator is a glob match, and != is the opposite (no match). Some shells allow = instead of == but == is the standard in [[ ]].
(While in [ ] the = operator is true if the strings are equal, and the != is the opposite (not equal).) Some shells allow == instead of = but = is the standard in [ ].
