In the title compound (systematic name: tripropylazanium 2,4,6-trisulfanylidenecyclohexan-1-ide), (C3H7)3HN+·C3H2N3S3−, one H atom of trithiocyanuric acid is accepted by tripropylamine to form the ammonium ion. Coplanar trithiocyanurate and tripropylammonium ions [dihedral angle = 82.33 (8)°] form the salt, which is stabilised by various N—H⋯S and N—H⋯N contacts.

Trithiocyanuric acid (0.044 g, 0.25 mmol) was dissolved in a water-ethanol (1:2 v/v) mixture and tripropylamine was added to neutralize the acid. Colorless block crystals formed after several weeks.
All hydrogen atoms bonded to carbon were introduced to idealized positions and allowed to ride on their parent atoms. Hydrogen atoms bonded to nitrogen were located in difference Fourier syntheses with N—H distance of 0.93 Å.
Trithiocyanuric acid, which can be regarded as the polymer of three thiourea molecules, tends to form various hydrogen bonds with its hydrogen-bond donor and acceptor (Dean et al. 2004). Here we reported the cocrystal of the tripropylammonium cation and trithiocyanurate with a molar ratio of 1:1, (C3H7)3HN+.C3H2N3S3-. In this structure, the independent planar trithiocyanurate anion only form a pair of N—H···S hydrogen bonds, of which N···S distances are 3.404 (2) Å and 3.291 (2) Å and the corresponding angles 166.6° and 169.7°, to generate the hydrogen-bonded ribbons along the b axis, and these ribbons which are translated by 21 rotation axis are orderly arranged almost along the (101) and (101)directions. Subsequently, the central N—H group of the ammonium cation can form an N—H···N donor hydrogen bond (N···N distance is 2.867 (2) Å and the related angle is 172.5°) with one of the nitrogen atom located in the trithiocyanurate to generate the final stable cocrystal.

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. |

Trithiocyanuric acid, which can be regarded as the polymer of three thiourea molecules, tends to form various hydrogen bonds with its hydrogen-bond donor and acceptor (Dean et al. 2004). Here we reported the cocrystal of the tripropylammonium cation and trithiocyanurate with a molar ratio of 1:1, (C3H7)3HN+.C3H2N3S3-. In this structure, the independent planar trithiocyanurate anion only form a pair of N—H···S hydrogen bonds, of which N···S distances are 3.404 (2) Å and 3.291 (2) Å and the corresponding angles 166.6° and 169.7°, to generate the hydrogen-bonded ribbons along the b axis, and these ribbons which are translated by 21 rotation axis are orderly arranged almost along the (101) and (101)directions. Subsequently, the central N—H group of the ammonium cation can form an N—H···N donor hydrogen bond (N···N distance is 2.867 (2) Å and the related angle is 172.5°) with one of the nitrogen atom located in the trithiocyanurate to generate the final stable cocrystal.
