Sumario:The crystal and molecular structure of N-2-pyridylethyl-N’-3- tolylthiourea, 1, was determined. 1 crystallizes as triclinic, P-1,a = 9.024(2) Å, b = 9.718(3) Å, c = 9.765(4) Å, α = 102.26(3)°, β =114.18(3)°, γ = 103.12(2)°, V = 714.4(4) Å3, Z = 2. Both thiourea NHgroups form intermolecular hydrogen bonds, N’H with the thionesulfur atom and the NH with the pyridine nitrogen. When comparedwith other N-2-pyridylethyl-N’-arylthioureas it is observed that thecentro-symmetric N’H⋅⋅⋅S hydrogen bond is always present and theNH⋅⋅⋅N always H-bonds to the pyridine N atom but in some cases asan intra-molecular H-bond and in the other as an intermolecular Hbond.This difference may be due to variables introduced by the flexibilityof the molecules, whose effects on the crystal packing can notbe predicted.
