2-(5-Chloro-2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)hydrazinecarbothioamide

Abstract

The title molecule, C9H7ClN4OS, is almost planar, with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.034 (2) Å for the mean plane through all the non-H atoms. Intramolecular N—H...O and N—H...N hydrogen bonds form S(6) and S(5) ring motifs, respectively. In the crystal, molecules are assembled into inversion dimers through pairs of co-operative N—H...Cl interactions. These dimers are connected along the b axis by N—H...O and N—H...S hydrogen bonds, generating layers parallel to (103). The layers are further connected along the a axis into a three-dimensional network, through weak π–π stacking interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.849 (2) Å].
