Crystal Study of Salicylaldehyde N(4)-Phenylthiosemicarbazone

Abstract The crystal structure of salicylaldehyde N(4)-phenyl thiosemicarbazone is described. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic crystal system, space group P Z = 6, V = 2002.1(5) ?³ with unit cell parameters a = 10.6733(15) ?, b = 13.8856(19) ?, c = 14.052(2) ?, α = 81.851(2)°, β = 77.061(2)° and γ = 83.482(2)°. There are three independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. The crystal structure reveals that the compound exists in the thione form and S1 and N3 are at E configuration to each other with respect to N2–C7 bond. Similarly, S2 and N6 are trans to each other with respect to N5–C21 bond in the second molecule of the asymmetric unit and S3 and N9 are trans to each other with respect to N8–C35 bond in the third molecule of the asymmetric unit. The packing of the molecules in the crystal lattice is stabilized by intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
