Methyl -N-(3-nitrophenylmethylene)dithiocarbazate

Y.-L. Zhang, S. Shan and D.-J. Xu

Abstract: Crystals of the title compound, C₉H₉N₃O₂S₂, were obtained from a condensation reaction of S-methyl dithiocarbazate and 3-nitrobenzaldehyde. The planar dithiocarbazate moiety subtends an angle of 10.54  (8)° with respect to the plane of the nitrophenyl ring. Electron delocalization occurs between the imino and dithiocarboxyl groups. The partially overlapped arrangement of parallel benzene rings of neighboring molecules, with a face-to-face distance of 3.343  (8)  Å, suggests the existence of - stacking.
