In the title molecule, C11H12N4S2, the dihedral angle between the triazole and benzene rings is 21.31 (5)°. A weak intramolecular C—H⋯S hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, pairs of N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds form inversion dimers. In addition, π–π interactions are observed between the benzene rings, with a centroid–centroid separation of 3.7599 (11) Å.

To a suspension of 4-(methylthio)benzaldehyde (1.52 g, 0.01 mol) in methanol (15 ml), 4-amino-5-methyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione (0.01 mol, 1.65 g) was added and heated to form a clear solution. To this a few drops of conc.H2SO4 was added as a catalyst and refluxed for 5 h on a water bath. The precipitate formed was filtered and recrystallized from mixture of methanol and dioxane (2:1) to yield the titled compound. The single crystals were grown from a solution of the titlr compound of methanol (mp. 355–357 K).
All H atoms were positioned geometrically and were treated as riding on their parent C/N atoms, with C—H distances of 0.93–0.96 Å and N—H distance of 0.86 Å; and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C/N), except for the methyl groups where Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C),.
During the last few decades, there has been a considerable interest in the chemistry of Schiff base compounds (Dubey & Vaid, 1991; Yadav et al.,1994).
containing different donor atoms, also find use in analytical applications and metal coordination (Galic et al., 2001). Since many compounds containing sulfur and nitrogen atoms are antihypertensive (Wei et al., 1981, 1982), analgesic (Thieme et al., 1973a,b), anti-inflammatory (Dornow et al., 1964), sedative (Barrera et al., 1985), or fungicidal (Malik et al., 2011), synthesis of the corresponding could be of interest from the viewpoint of chemical reactivity and biological activity.In the title compound (Fig. 1), the bond lengths and angles have values in the normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987) and are comparable with closely related structures (Devarajegowda et al., 2012; Fun et al., 2008; Wang et al., 2008). The dihedral angle between the triazole ring (N1/N2/C3/N4/C5) and the benzene ring (C9—C14) is 21.31 (5)°. The molecule exists in the thione tautomeric form, with an S═C distance of 1.681 (3) Å, which indicates substantial double-bond character for this bond [1.671 (24) Å](Allen et al., 1987). The methylidene amino linkage (N7/C8) is slightly twisted from the mean plane of the 1,2,4 triazole ring as indicated by the torsion angle C3–N4–N7–C8 of -30.8 (2)°. A weak intramolecular C—H···S hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring motif (Bernstein et al.,1995). The packing of molecules within the is shown in Fig. 2. In the crystal, pairs of N—H···S hydrogen bonds form inversion dimers. In addition, π–π interactions are observed between the benzene rings with Cg···Cg(-x,-y,1-z) = 3.7599 (11) Å, where Cg is the centroid of the C9—C14 ring.

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. |

During the last few decades, there has been a considerable interest in the chemistry of Schiff base compounds (Dubey & Vaid, 1991; Yadav et al.,1994). Schiff bases, containing different donor atoms, also find use in analytical applications and metal coordination (Galic et al., 2001). Since many compounds containing sulfur and nitrogen atoms are antihypertensive (Wei et al., 1981, 1982), analgesic (Thieme et al., 1973a,b), anti-inflammatory (Dornow et al., 1964), sedative (Barrera et al., 1985), or fungicidal (Malik et al., 2011), synthesis of the corresponding heterocyclic compounds could be of interest from the viewpoint of chemical reactivity and biological activity.
In the title compound (Fig. 1), the bond lengths and angles have values in the normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987) and are comparable with closely related structures (Devarajegowda et al., 2012; Fun et al., 2008; Wang et al., 2008). The dihedral angle between the triazole ring (N1/N2/C3/N4/C5) and the benzene ring (C9—C14) is 21.31 (5)°. The molecule exists in the thione tautomeric form, with an S═C distance of 1.681 (3) Å, which indicates substantial double-bond character for this bond [1.671 (24) Å](Allen et al., 1987). The methylidene amino linkage (N7/C8) is slightly twisted from the mean plane of the 1,2,4 triazole ring as indicated by the torsion angle C3–N4–N7–C8 of -30.8 (2)°. A weak intramolecular C—H···S hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring motif (Bernstein et al.,1995). The packing of molecules within the unit cell is shown in Fig. 2. In the crystal, pairs of N—H···S hydrogen bonds form inversion dimers. In addition, π–π interactions are observed between the benzene rings with Cg···Cg(-x,-y,1-z) = 3.7599 (11) Å, where Cg is the centroid of the C9—C14 ring.
