The crystal structure of 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(4-methylbenzoyl)thiourea

1-(4-Chlorophenyl)-3-(4-methylbenzoyl)thiourea was synthesized and characterized by IR,¹H and ¹³C NMR, mass spectroscopy and the elemental analysis. The crystal structure was confirmed from single crystal X-ray diffraction data. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with unit cell dimensions a=12.038(3), b=6.330(6), c=18.912(5) Å and β=100.32(3)°. There is a strong intramolecular hydrogen bond of the type N?H...O, with distance N1...O1=2.659(3) Å. The structure is composed of dimers related by inversion centers. The dimers are formed by intermolecular interactions of the type N?H...S with N...S separation of 3.440(2) Å. The mass fragmentation pattern has also been discussed.
