The molecule of the title compound, C8H6N4S, is almost planar [maximum deviation from the mean plane = 0.020 (1) Å for the S atom]. In the crystal, a supramolecular three-dimensional arrangement arises from N-H
N hydrogen bonds and weak aromatic stacking interactions along the a axis [centroid-centroid separation = 3.582 (2) Å].
To a solution of 6-aminoindazole (2.00 g, 15 mmol) and NH4SCN (2.29 g, 30 mmol) in acetic acid (25 ml) was added dropwise pentylpyridinium tribromide (5.86 g, 15 mmol) (Salazar & Dorta, 2004). The resulting solution was stirred for 3 h at room temperature and then, 3 h at 80°C. The reaction mixture was then poured into ice (50 g), the precipitate was filtered and discarded. The resulting solution was neutralized with K2CO3, and the formed precipitate was filtered, washed with AcOEt and dried; to give a yellow powder corresponding to the title compound. Yield: 1.80 g (63%). The melting point (uncorrected) was measured with a Fischer-Johns micro hot-stage apparatus: d 563 K.
The yellow powder was dissolved in a minimum amount of 1,4-dioxane and the solution was left for several days at room temperature, during which the solution gradually reduced its volume to give light brown blocks of (I).

The N-bound H atoms were located in difference maps and refined as riding in their as found relative positions with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(N). The C-bound H atoms were placed in idealized positions (C—H = 0.93–0.98 Å) and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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. |

Most of the significant advances against diseases have been made by designing and testing new structures, which are often heteroaromatic derivatives. Actually, the discovery of new compounds with antitumoral activity has become one of the most important goals in medicinal chemistry. One interesting group of potential chemotherapeutic agents includes molecules which interact with DNA like intercalator agents (Martínez & Chacón-García, 2005). Intercalation occurs when ligands of an appropriate size and chemical nature, fit themselves in between base pairs of DNA. Such ligands are mostly polycyclic, aromatic and planar. These kinds of agents are used in chemotherapeutic treatment to inhibit DNA replication in rapidly growing cancer cells. The title compound (I) is a polycyclic, aromatic and heterocyclic molecule and could be used to develop a new type of DNA intercalators agents (Chakrabarty et al. 2008).
The molecular structure is shown in figure 1, with its respective labels. The molecule adopts a conformation essenciality planar, with maximum deviation of the mean plane of 0.020 (1)Å for atom S1. The crystal structure of (I), consists of the self-assembly of the molecules through hydrogen bonding interactions of the kind N—H···N. The crystal packing (Fig. 2), consists of infinite chains in zigzag along the b axis generated by intermolecular interactions of hydrogen bond between the amino group and N atom of the imidazole ring [N1···N4 = 3.019 (3)Å]. These chains are connected through the interaction between the atoms N2 and N3 forming a two-dimensional wavy-like arrangement in the bc plane These layers are stacking through weak π–π interactions along the a axis (Cg3···Cg1, where Cg3 = C2/C3/C4/C5/C7/C8 and Cg1 = S1/C6/N3/C5/C7) together with an additional hydrogen bond lead to the formation of a three-dimensional hydrogen bonded network.
