In the title compound, C9H9N2OS+·Cl−, the cations exhibit amidinium-type delocalization of the positive charge. The ions are linked by one O—H⋯Cl hydrogen bond and two N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds into chains of edge-fused (11) rings. The chains are linked into sheets by a π–π stacking interaction.
Comment
Masaki et al. (1966) reported the preparation of 3-hydroxy-4-phenyl-2(3H)-thiazolimine, from the condensation reaction of the oxime of bromomethyl phenyl ketone, BrCH2C(Ph)=NOH, with barium thiocyanate, and these authors characterized the heterocycle as the picrate salt. The of the title compound, the hydrochloride salt (I), was reported by Entenmann (1975) as exhibiting a significant peak assigned to [M − 16]+, corresponding to the loss of an O atom, which suggested that the O atom was not protonated. In solution, the picrate salt was reported to give a positive phenol test with iron(III) chloride. However, in neither report was the constitution of the cation definitively established; in particular, neither report gave any indication of the solid-state structure, and hence the determination now reported was undertaken.
Compound (I) consists of an containing a short O—H⋯Cl hydrogen bond (Fig. 1, and Tables 1 and 2). In the cation, the heterocyclic ring is planar, as expected, and the dihedral angle between this plane and the plane of the benzene ring is 41.9 (2)°. There are considerable differences between the corresponding pairs of exocyclic angles at atoms C2, N3 and C4. The very small interbond angle at atom S1 is also notable. The C2—N2 and C2—N3 bonds are similar in length and both are significantly shorter than the N3—C4 bond. The bond orders, calculated using the recent recalibration by Kotelevskii & Prezhdo (2001) of the original equation relating bond order to bond length (Gordy, 1947), for the C2—N2, C2—N3 and C3—N4 bonds are 1.77, 1.72 and 1.33, respectively, suggesting amidinium-type delocalization of the positive charge between atoms N2 and N3, as indicated in the scheme below.
The amine group acts as a double donor in N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds involving two different anions (Table 2). In the shorter and more nearly linear of these two interactions, amine atom N2 acts as a hydrogen-bond donor, via atom H2A, to atom Cl1 at (x, y − 1, z), so generating by translation a C21(7) chain (Bernstein et al., 1995) running parallel to the [010] direction (Fig. 2). Four chains of this type pass through each and these chains are linked into pairs by the second N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bond. In this interaction, atom N2 acts as a hydrogen-bond donor, this time via atom H2B, to atom Cl1 at ( − x, y − , − z), so forming a C21(4) chain generated by the 21 screw axis along (, y, ) (Fig. 2). The combination of the C21(4) and C21(7) motifs then produces a chain of edge-fused (11) rings. This chain of rings, containing the 21 axis along (, y, ), lies within the domain 0 < x < , and a second chain, related to the first by inversion and containing the 21 axis along (, y, ), lies in the domain < x < 1.
The only direction-specific interaction between adjacent chains of rings is a weak π–π stacking interaction between the heterocyclic rings of the cations related by a centre of symmetry. These rings are parallel, with an of 3.631 (2) Å. The ring-centroid separation is 3.778 (2) Å, corresponding to a centroid offset of 1.044 (2) Å. These cations at (x, y, z) and (1 − x, 1 − y, 1 − z) lie, respectively, in the chains of rings along (, y, ) and (, −y, ), so that propagation of this stacking interaction links the chain into a (10) sheet. However, there are no π–π stacking interactions involving the phenyl ring, nor are there any C—H⋯π(arene) hydrogen bonds.
As well as acting as a threefold acceptor of hydrogen bonds, the anion at (x, y, z) also forms a short contact with the S atom of the molecule at (1 − x, 1 − y, 1 − z). This S⋯Cl distance is 3.3275 (7) Å, somewhat less than the sum of the van der Waals radii (3.50 Å; Bondi, 1964). The overall at atom Cl1, including the secondary bond (Alcock, 1972) involving the S atom, takes the form of a distorted trigonal bipyramid of VSEPR (valence-shell electron-pair repulsion) type MX4E (Gillespie, 1972; Gillespie & Hargittai, 1991; Burdett, 1997), where X represents a bonding pair of electrons at the central atom M (here M = Cl) and E represents the equatorial lone pair of non-bonding electrons (Fig. 3). The angles at atom Cl1 are as follows: O3⋯Cl1⋯N2* = 110.79 (5)°, O3⋯Cl1⋯N2# = 78.64 (5)°, O3⋯Cl1⋯S1$ = 91.92 (3)°, N2*⋯Cl1⋯N2# = 92.69 (5)°, N2*⋯Cl1⋯S1$ = 109.99 (4)° and N2#⋯Cl1⋯S1$ = 157.30 (4)°, where atoms marked with an asterisk (*), a hash (#) or a dollar sign ($) are at the symmetry positions (x, y + 1, z), ( − x, + y, − z) and (1 − x, 1 − y, 1 − z), respectively.
Experimental
The neutral heterocycle 3-hydroxy-2-imino-4-phenylthiazole was prepared according to the method reported by Masaki et al. (1966). The hydrochloride salt, (I), was prepared by treating the neutral heterocycle in ethanol solution with aqueous HCl (6 mol dm−3) and was recrystallized from ethanol. Compound (I) slowly darkened on heating and decomposed before melting.

Masaki et al. (1966) reported the preparation of 3-hydroxy-4-phenyl-2(3H)-thiazolimine, from the condensation reaction of the oxime of bromomethyl phenyl ketone, BrCH2C(Ph)=NOH, with barium thiocyanate, and characterized the heterocycle as the picrate salt. The mass spectrum of the title compound, the hydrochloride salt (I), was reported by Entenmann (1975) as exhibiting a significant peak assigned to [M-16]+, corresponding to loss of an O atom, which suggested that the O atom was not protonated. In solution, the picrate salt was reported to give a positive phenol test with iron(III) chloride. However, in neither report was the constitution of the cation definitively established; in particular, neither report gave any indication of the solid-state structure, and hence the determination now reported was undertaken.
Compound (I) consists of an ion pair containing a short O—H···Cl hydrogen bond (Fig. 1, and Tables 1 and 2). In the cation, the heterocyclic ring is planar, as expected, and the dihedral angle between this plane and the Ph ring is 41.9 (2)°. There is considerable variation within the corresponding pairs of exocyclic angles at atoms C2, N3 and C4. The very small interbond angle at atom S1 is also notable. The C2—N2 and C2—N3 bonds are similar in length and both are significantly shorter than the N3—C4 bond. The bond orders, calculated using the recent recalibration by Kotelevskii & Prezhdo (2001) of the original equation relating bond order to bond length (Gordy, 1947), for the C2—N2, C2—N3 and C3—N4 bonds are 1.77, 1.72 and 1.33, respectively, suggesting amidinium-type delocalization of the positive charge between atoms N2 and N3, as indicated in the scheme.
The amine group acts as a double donor in N—H···Cl hydrogen bonds involving two different anions (Table 2). In the shorter and more nearly linear of these two interactions, amine atom N2 acts as a hydrogen-bond donor, via atom H2A, to atom Cl at (x, y − 1, z), so generating by translation a C12(7) (Bernstein et al., 1995) chain running parallel to the [010] direction (Fig. 2). Four chains of this type pass through each unit cell and they are linked into pairs by the second N—H···Cl hydrogen bond. In this interaction, atom N2 acts as a hydrogen-bond donor, this type via atom H2B, to atom Cl at (1/2 − x, y − 1/2, 1/2 − z), so forming a C12(4) chain generated by the 21 screw axis along (1/4, y, 1/4) (Fig. 2). The combination of the C12(4) and C12(7) motifs then produces a chain of edge-fused R24(11) rings. This chain of rings, containing the 21 axis along (1/4, y, 1/4), lies within the domain 0 < x < 1/2, and a second chain, related to the first by inversion and containing the 21 axis along (3/4, y, 3/4), lies in the domain 1/2 < x < 1.
The only direction-specific interaction between adjacent chains of rings is a weak π···π stacking interaction between the heterocyclic rings of the cations related by a center of symmetry. These rings are parallel, with an interplanar spacing of 3.631 (2) Å. The ring-centroid separation is 3.778 (2) Å, corresponding to a centroid offset of 1.044 (2) Å. These cations at (x, y, z) and (1 − x, 1 − y, 1 − z) lie, respectively, in the chains of rings along (1/4, y, 1/4) and (3/4, −y, 3/4), so that propagation of this stacking interaction links the chain into a (10–1) sheet. However, there are no π···π stacking interactions involving the phenyl ring, nor are there any C—H···π(arene) hydrogen bonds.
As well as acting as a threefold acceptor of hydrogen bonds, the anion at (x, y, z) also forms a short contact with the S atom of the molecule at (1 − x, 1 − y, 1 − z). This S···Cl distance is 3.3275 (7) Å, somewhat below the sum of the van der Waals radii (3.50 Å; Bondi, 1964). The overall coordination polyhedron at atom Cl, including the secondary bond (Alcock, 1972) involving the S atom, takes the form of a distorted trigonal bipyramid of VSEPR (Gillespie, 1972; Gillespie & Hargittai, 1991; Burdett, 1997) type MX4E, where X represents a bonding pair of electrons at the central atom, M (here M = Cl), and E represents the equatorial lone pair of non-bonding electrons (Fig. 3). The angles at atom Cl1 are as follows: O3···Cl1···N2* = 110.79 (5)°, O3···Cl1···N2# = 78.64 (5)°, O3···Cl1···S1? = 91.92 (3)°, N2*···Cl1···N2# = 92.69 (5)°, N2*···Cl1···Si? = 109.99 (4)° and N2#···Cl1···S1? = 157.30 (4)°, where atoms marked with an asterisk (*), a hash (#) or a dollar sign () are at the symmetry positions (x, y + 1, z), (1/2 − x, 1/2 + y, 1/2 − z) and $ = (1 − x, 1 − y, 1 − z), resepctively.
