Synthesis and Crystal Structure of (E)-1-(2,3-Dihydroxybenzlidene)-4,4-Dimethythiosemicarbazide

Abstract  

The Schiff base C₁₀H₁₃N₃O₂S is monoclinic, having unit cell parameters a = 9.788(1) ?, b = 9.615(1) ?, c = 12.605(1) ?, β = 108.41(1)° and V = 1125.56(2) ?³ and belongs to P2_1/n space group. The molecule is almost planar. The two hydroxyl groups present on the phenyl ring are involved in intermolecular H-bonding, which results in the stacking of molecules in the anti-parallel fashion leading an interesting network of channels. Besides this C–H⋯π and π–π (edge to edge) interactions appear to provide stability to the crystal lattice.
