Abstract: | In the title compound, C4H6N4S·0.5H2O, there are two independent pyrimidinethione units, both of which lie across mirror planes in the space group Cmca. Hence, the H atoms bonded to the ring N atoms in each molecule are disordered over two symmetry‐related sites, each having an occupancy of 0.5. The water molecule lies across a twofold rotation axis parallel to [010]. The molecular components of (I) are linked by seven independent hydrogen bonds, of N—H...N, N—H...S, N—H...O and O—H...S types. A combination of disordered N—H...N hydrogen bonds and ordered N—H...S hydrogen bonds links the pyrimidinethione units into a continuous tubular structure. The water molecule acts as both a double donor of hydrogen bonds and a double acceptor, forming hydrogen bonds with components of four distinct pyrimidinethione tubes, thus linking these tubes into a three‐dimensional structure. |
