The title compound, C(5)H(6)N(2)S, is a simple but novel pyridinethiol of pharmacological interest. The molecule is planar. The crystal packing is dominated by hydrophobic contacts and a pair of hydrogen-bond interactions between the amino group of one pyridine molecule and the ring N atom of a neighbouring base, stabilizing the structure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
