Abstract

In the title compound, C7H7ClN2S, the thio­urea N—C(=S)—N plane forms a dihedral angle of 64.80 (6)° with the benzene ring. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked via inter­molecular N—H⋯S and N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds into a sheet extending parallel to the (101) plane.

Comment

In view of importance of thiourea derivatives (Saleem & Yamin, 2010; Sarojini et al., 2007), the title compound (I) is prepared and its crystal structure is reported.

In the title molecule (Fig. 1), the thiourea moiety (S1/N1/N2/C7) is planar (r.m.s. deviation = < 0.001) and it forms a dihedral angle of 64.80 (6)° with the benzene ring (C1–C6). Bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are within normal ranges. In the crystal structure (Fig. 2), molecules are linked via intermolecular N2—H2N2···S1, N2—H1N2···Cl1 and N1—H11···S1 hydrogen bonds (Table 1) into two-dimensional sheets parallel to the (101) plane.

Experimental

3-Chloroaniline (0.65 ml, 0.0081 mol) was refluxed with potassium thiocyanate (1.4 g, 0.0142 mol) in 20 ml of water and 1.6 ml of conc. HCl for 3 h. The reaction mixture was then cooled to room temperature and stirred overnight. The precipitated product was then filetred, washed with water, dried and single crystals were grown from toluene and acetone (1:1) mixture by the slow evaporation method (m.p. 402 K).

Refinement

N-bound hydrogen atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and refined freely [N—H = 0.80 (2)–0.84 (2) Å]. The remaining H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with C—H = 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Special details

Experimental. The crystal was placed in the cold stream of an Oxford Cryosystems Cobra open-flow nitrogen cryostat (Cosier & Glazer, 1986) operating at 100.0 (1) K.
Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2sigma(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
