In the title compound, C14H12ClN3S, the dihedral angle between the terminal benzene rings is 56.6 (2)°; the benzene rings lie to the same side of the mol­ecule. The major twist in the mol­ecule occurs around the Car—N bond (ar is aromatic) [C—N—C—C = 49.9 (5)°]. The configuration about the N=C bond [1.271 (4) Å] is E. The amine H atoms lie on opposite sides of the mol­ecule with one forming an intra­molecular N—H⋯N(imine) hydrogen bond and an S(5) ring. In the crystal, centrosymmetric dimers are formed via {⋯HNC=S}2 synthons.

Supporting information


Comment top

The title compound, (I), was investigated in continuation of structural studies of substituted thiosemicarbazone molecules (Kayed et al., 2008). The configuration about the N3C8 bond [1.271 (4) Å] in (I), Fig. 1, is E. The C1-benzene ring is twisted out of the plane of the thiourea moiety as seen in the value of the C7—N1—C1—C2 torsion angle of 49.9 (5) °; the dihedral angle between the C7,N1,N2,S1 [r.m.s. = 0.0155 Å] and C1–C6 planes is 51.06 (13) °. By contrast, the C9-benzene ring is co-planar with the imine moiety, with N3—C8—C9—C10 being -6.3 (5) °. The dihedral angle formed between the benzene rings is 56.6 (2) °. The amine groups lie on opposite sides of the molecule allowing for the formation of an intramolecular N1—H1n···N3 hydrogen bond, Table 1. The result is that the benzene rings lie to the same side of the molecule. Overall the conformation of the molecule is a twisted U-shape. The geometric parameters in and the overall conformation of (I) match very closely those found in the unsubstituted parent compound (Cunha et al., 2007).

The major feature of the crystal packing is the formation of centrosymmetric dimers via N—H···S hydrogen bonds, Table 1 and Fig. 2.

Experimental top

The title compound was prepared by heating an ethanolic (50 ml) solution of 4-chlorobenzaldehyde (1.406 g, 10 mmol) and 4-phenylthiosemicarbazide (1.672 g, 10 mmol) under reflux for 1 h. The resulting product was isolated and recrystallized from DMSO to afford light pink plates in 72% yield (M.pt. 470–472 K). IR (KBr): Strong absorption bands for thiocarbonyl ν(CS), azomethine ν(CN) and hydrazinic nitrogen ν(N—N) appeared at 1199, 1600 and 1083 cm-1, respectively. Absorption bands for ν(C—Cl) and aromatic carbon ν(CC) appeared at 833 and 1510 cm-1, respectively.

Refinement top

Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H 0.93 Å) and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation, with Uiso(H) set to 1.2 to 1.5Uequiv(C). The N-bound H atoms were refined with the distance restraint 0.86±0.01 Å with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(parent atom).

Special details top

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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 > 2σ(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.
