1,3-Bis(2-chlorophenyl)thiourea: a monoclinic polymorph

The title compound, C13H10Cl2N2S, represents a monoclinic polymorph of the previously reported orthorhombic form [Ramnathan et al. (1996). Acta Cryst. C52, 134–136]. The molecule is twisted with the dihedral angle between the benzene rings being 55.37 (7)°. The N—H atoms are syn to each other, which contrasts their anti disposition in the orthorhombic form. In the crystal, molecules assemble into zigzag chains along the c axis via N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds. Chains are connected into layers via C—H⋯Cl interactions, and these stack along the a axis.

2-Chlorophenyl isothiocyanate (2 ml) was added drop-wise to a stirred solution of NaOH (1 mol equiv.) in i-PrOH (25 ml) and stirred for 3 h. Excess HCl (50% M/v) was then added and the solution was stirred for a further 2 h. The product was then extracted with CHCl3 and left for evaporation at room temperature yielding colourless crystals after 3 days; M.pt: 394–396 K. IR (cm-1): ν(N—H) 3348; ν(C—N) 1498; ν(C═ S) 1201.
Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H 0.95 Å) and were included in the
in the riding model approximation, with Uiso(H) set to 1.2Ueq(C). The N-bound H-atoms were located in a difference Fourier map but were refined with a distance restraint of N—H = 0.88±0.01 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(N).Data collection: APEX2 (Bruker, 2009); cell

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. |

In connection with the synthesis and structural studies of thiocarbamides (Ho et al., 2005), diarylthioureas are sometimes isolated as the undesired hydrolysis by-product (Kuan & Tiekink, 2007). The title compound, (I), was isolated in crystalline form during the attempted synthesis of (C6H4Cl-o)N(H)C(═S)O-i-Pr. The structure of (I) is reported herein. A previously reported orthorhombic form of (I) exists in the literature (Ramnathan et al., 1996).
The molecular structure of (I), Fig. 1, is twisted about the central N—C bonds. With reference to the central plane through the CN2S chromophore [r.m.s. deviation = 0.0029 Å], the C2-benzene ring is almost perpendicular [dihedral angle = 85.20 (6)°] and the C8-ring is twisted [dihedral angle = 49.32 (6)°]; the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 55.37 (7)°. The amide-H atoms are syn to each other. The syn conformation observed for the thiourea chromophore in (I) is quite distinct to that found in the orthorhombic polymorph (Ramnathan et al., 1996).
In the orthorhombic form of (I), the amide-H atoms are anti to each other. This key difference between the molecular structures in the two polymorphs is highlighted in the overlay diagram shown in Fig. 2. The anti orientation allows for the formation of eight-membered {···HNCS}2 synthons in the crystal packing in the orthorhombic polymorph. By contrast, the crystal structure of (I) features supramolecular zigzag chains along the c axis mediated by N—H···S hydrogen bonds (Table 1 and Fig. 3); the S1 atom is bifurcated. Chains assemble into layers by C—H···Cl interactions (Fig. 4) and the layers thus formed stack along the a axis (Fig. 5).
