6-Bromo-1,3-benzothiazol-2-amine

Abstract

The r.m.s. deviation from the mean plane for the non-H atoms in the title compound, C7H5BrN2S, is 0.011 Å. In the crystal, the molecules are linked by N—H...N and N—H...Br hydrogen bonds to generate (010) sheets. Weak aromatic π–π stacking [centroid-to-centroid separation = 3.884 (10) Å] and possible C—H...Br interactions are also observed. The crystal studied was found to be an inversion twin.
