The title compound, C12H11N4OS2, has been synthesized by the condensation reaction of 3-oxo-2-(phenylhydrazono)butanate and S-methyldithiocarbazate. The hydrazine unit and the pyrazole ring are coplanar [dihedral angle 3.8 (4)°] due to extensive conjugation and the N—H⋯O=C intramolecular hydrogen bond. Two adjacent molecules form dimers due to short C—H⋯O=C [R22 (18)] and C—H⋯S=C [R22 (22)] intermolecular interactions. C—H⋯S—C [R22 (14)] interactions link these dimers into ribbons in the [011] direction.

The title compound was synthesized by refluxing an ethanol solution of ethyl 3-oxo-2-(phenylhydrazono)butanate and S-methyldithiocarbazate (1:1) for 24 h. After 12 h at room temperature, the precipitate was collected by filtration and recrystallized from ethanol (yield 86.7%).The yellow crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation of a dichloromethane solution at 293 K (m.p. 396.2–397.7 K). Analysis calculated for C12H11N4OS2: C49.47, H 3.81, N 19.23%; found: C 49.63, H 3.56, N 19.14%. IR (KBr,cm-1): 3250(w, NH), 1630 (vs, O?C), 1520 (s, N?C), 1275(S?C). UV (λmax, in CHCl3, nm): 396 (K-band, 1.87× 104). 1H NMR (600 MHz, CDCl3, δ, p.p.m.): 9.64 (m, 5H, ArH), 6.91 (s, H, NH), 3.96 (s, 3H, SCH3), 1.13 (s, 3H, CH3).
The H atoms were placed in calculated positions and refined as riding, with C—H=0.93–0.97 Å and N—H=0.91 Å, and refined using a riding model, with Uiso(H) =1.2Ueq(C, N) and 1.5Ueq(methyl C).
Pyrazolones compounds are finding increasing numbers of applications as ligands in coordination chemistry (Brassy et al., 1974; Zelenak et al., 1999; Yang et al.,2003). For example, they have been applied to the
of metal ions (Bose et al., 2005) as ligands in complexes with (Bao et al., 2006) and in the synthesis of rare earth metal complexes with interesting photophysical properties (Shi et al. 2005). A related compound, (II), has already been studied (Liu et al., 2007).Similar to (II), the title compound, (I), has been shown by UV spectroscopy to have extensive conjugation involving four carbon atoms (C2—C5), four nitrogen atoms (N1—N4) and one oxygen (O1). And this has been further confirmed by the determination of its
(Fig. 1) The bond lengths and angles of the large in (I) are similar to the corresponding values in (II). The dihedral angle between the and with plane of C1–S1–C2=S2 in (I) is 3.8 (4)° while the value in (II) is 13.1 (3)°. The bond distances of C11—N4 is 1.392 (2) in (I), and the value in (II) is the same with (I), which is shorter than the range of C—N single bonds (1.47–1.40 Å) and might be attributed to a nonclassical sp2-hybrid nitrogen atom and the conjugated system.Two adjacent molecules form dimers due to short C—H···O=C [R22 (18)] and C—H···S=C [R22 (22)] (Bernstein et al., 1995) intermolecular interactions. C—H···S—C [R22 (14)] interactions link these dimers into ribbons in the (011) direction (Table 1).

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. |

Pyrazolones compounds are finding increasing numbers of applications as ligands in coordination chemistry (Brassy et al., 1974; Zelenak et al., 1999; Yang et al.,2003). For example, they have been applied to the solvent extraction of metal ions (Bose et al., 2005) as ligands in complexes with catalytic activity (Bao et al., 2006) and in the synthesis of rare earth metal complexes with interesting photophysical properties (Shi et al. 2005). A related compound, (II), has already been studied (Liu et al., 2007).
Similar to (II), the title compound, (I), has been shown by UV spectroscopy to have extensive conjugation involving four carbon atoms (C2—C5), four nitrogen atoms (N1—N4) and one oxygen (O1). And this has been further confirmed by the determination of its crystal structure (Fig. 1) The bond lengths and angles of the large conjugated system in (I) are similar to the corresponding values in (II). The dihedral angle between the conjugated system and with plane of C1–S1–C2=S2 in (I) is 3.8 (4)° while the value in (II) is 13.1 (3)°. The bond distances of C11—N4 is 1.392 (2) in (I), and the value in (II) is the same with (I), which is shorter than the range of C—N single bonds (1.47–1.40 Å) and might be attributed to a nonclassical sp2-hybrid nitrogen atom and the conjugated system.
Two adjacent molecules form dimers due to short C—H···O=C [R22 (18)] and C—H···S=C [R22 (22)] (Bernstein et al., 1995) intermolecular interactions. C—H···S—C [R22 (14)] interactions link these dimers into ribbons in the (011) direction (Table 1).
