There are two unique molecules in the 6H7NS, each of which adopts the thione rather than the mercaptan form. The rings in both molecules are essentially planar, with maximum deviations from the least-squares planes through all non-H atoms of 0.021 (2) and 0.017 (2) Å. In the the molecules form centrosymmetric cyclic dimers through intermolecular N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds. Additional C—H(methyl)⋯S interactions generate a three-dimensional network.

6-methylpyridine-2(1H)-thione was synthesized by a literature method (Thirtle 1946). X-ray quality single crystals were grown from ethyl acetate and petroleum ether (1/10, v/v).
H atoms bonded to C atoms were placed in geometrically calculated position and were refined using a riding model, the C–H bond lengths are 0.93 or 0.96 [Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C)] or [Uiso(H) = 1.5 Ueq(C)] for the methyl group, H atoms bonded to N atoms were placed in geometrically calculated positions and were also refined as riding [Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(N)]. .
Organic sulfur-containing compounds have been frequently encountered or used in chemical industry (Cui et al., 2009), life science (Saadat et al., 2004) and pharmacy (Qian et al., 2007). Some of them have found their applications in crystal engineering. 2-mercaptopyridine, its 6-methyl substituted and N-oxide derivatives have exhibited rich coordination motifs. They can serve as monodentate (Hamaguchi et al., 2007; Chunchuryukin et al., 2006), bidentate (Cotton et al., 1978; West et al., 1998; Fielding et al., 1997; Berardini et al., 1997), and bridging (Tylicki et al., 1995; Hong, et al., 1999; Cabeza, et al., 2007) ligands to coordinate metals. Though syntheses and crystal structures of these metal complexes have been reported, the
of 2-mercapto-6-methylpyridine itself has not been yet reported. Here we report its and packing pattern.A perspective view of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. The C—S bond lengths were 1.694 (3) and 1.700 (2) Å, shorter than those in the above-mentioned metal complexes (typically 1.740 Å). This clearly indicates that the neutral title compound in solid state exists as a pyridinethione, while in metal complexes it ligates to metal centers as a pyridinethiolate anion. As shown in Fig. 2, adjacent two molecules are linked by intermolecular N–H···S interactions, forming a cyclic dimer.

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

Organic sulfur-containing compounds have been frequently encountered or used in chemical industry (Cui et al., 2009), life science (Saadat et al., 2004) and pharmacy (Qian et al., 2007). Some of them have found their applications in crystal engineering. 2-mercaptopyridine, its 6-methyl substituted and N-oxide derivatives have exhibited rich coordination motifs. They can serve as monodentate (Hamaguchi et al., 2007; Chunchuryukin et al., 2006), bidentate (Cotton et al., 1978; West et al., 1998; Fielding et al., 1997; Berardini et al., 1997), and bridging (Tylicki et al., 1995; Hong, et al., 1999; Cabeza, et al., 2007) ligands to coordinate metals. Though syntheses and crystal structures of these metal complexes have been reported, the crystal structure of 2-mercapto-6-methylpyridine itself has not been yet reported. Here we report its crystal structure and packing pattern.
A perspective view of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. The C—S bond lengths were 1.694 (3) and 1.700 (2) Å, shorter than those in the above-mentioned metal complexes (typically 1.740 Å). This clearly indicates that the neutral title compound in solid state exists as a pyridinethione, while in metal complexes it ligates to metal centers as a pyridinethiolate anion. As shown in Fig. 2, adjacent two molecules are linked by intermolecular N–H···S interactions, forming a cyclic dimer.
