In the title compound, C20H17N3OS, the dihedral angle between the benzene rings of the biphenyl fragment is 36.84 (9)°. The trans-cis geometry of the thiourea unit is stabilized by intramolecular N-H
O and N-H
N hydrogen bonds between the H atom of the cis thioamide and the carbonyl O and pyridine N atoms, respectively. In the crystal structure, intermolecular N-H
S hydrogen bonds form centrosymmetric dimers extending along the b axis.
The mixrure of biphenyl 1–4 carbonyl chloride (5.417 g, 0.025 mol), with the equimolar amount of ammonium thiocyanate (1.903 g, 0.025 mol) and 2-picolylamine (2.704 g, 0.025 mol) in 30 ml dry acetone was refluxed with stirring for 4 h. The solution was filtered and left to evaporate at room temperature. The black precipitate obtained after a few days, was washed with water and cold ethanol (80%; m.p 416.4–419.2 K). Suitable crystals for X-ray investigation were obtained byrecrystallization from mixture of dichloromethane and n-Hexane (1:3 v/v).
H atoms on both the C and N atoms were positioned geometrically with C—H = 0.93 - 0.97Å and N—H = 0.86Å and constrained to ride on their parent atoms with Uiso(H)= 1.2Ueq(parent atom).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s 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 > σ(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. |

The title compound, (I), analogous to N-(biphenyl-4-carbonyl)-N'- (2-chlorophenyl)thiourea (II) (Arif & Yamin, 2007) except the 2-chlorobenzene group is replaced by the 2-methyl-pyridine group (Fig.1). The molecule maintains its trans-cis configuration with respect to the position of the biphenyl-4-carbonyl and 2-methyl-pyridin groups relative the thiono sulfur atom across the C14—N1 and C14—N2 bonds, respectively. Other bond lengths and angles are in normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987) and comparable to those in (II). However, the dihedral angle between the benzene rings of the biphenyl fragment, (C1—C6) and (C7—C12) of 36,84 (9)° is larger than that (20.71 (17)°) in (II). Both the central C13/O1/N1/C14/S1/N2/C15 fragment and pyridine ring (N3/C16—C20), are planar with a maximum deviation of 0.032 (2)Å for atom N1 atom from the least square plane of the central fragment. The central fragment makes dihedral angles with the (C7—C12) benzene and (N3/C16—C20) pyridine rings of 16.39 (8) and 13.21 (6)°, respectively. The trans-cis geometry of the thiourea moiety is stabilized by the relatively strong N2—H2···O1 and a weak N2—H2···N3 intramolecular hydrogen bonds (Table 2). In the crystal structure, the molecules are linked by N1—H1···S1 intermolecular hydrogen bonds to form centrosymmetric dimers and are arranged parallel to b axis (Fig.2). In (II), the molecule is stabilized by van der Waal and π-π interactions.
