Sodium 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiolate dihydrate

Abstract

There are two 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2(3H)-thiolate anions in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, Na+·C2H2N3S2−·2H2O, which are almost perpendicular to each other [dihedral angle = 84.64 (6)°]. The two Na+ cations are in distorted fourfold coordinations by O atoms of the water molecules. The crystal structure is stabilized by N—H...S, O—H...N and O—H...S hydrogen bonds.
