Key indicators: single-crystal X-ray study; T = 173 K; mean (C-C) = 0.004 Å; R factor = 0.030; wR factor = 0.071; data-to-parameter ratio = 13.9.The geometric parameters of the title molecule, C 9 H 10 BrN 3 O 2 S, are in the usual ranges. The mean plane of the thiourea group is almost parallel to the plane of the benzene ring [dihedral angle = 8.40 (12) ]. Only the torsion angles about the C carbonyl -C aromatic bond and the N-N bond differ significantly from 0 or 180 . The crystal packing is stabilized by N-HÁ Á ÁO and N-HÁ Á ÁS hydrogen bonds. organic compounds o3844 # 2007 International Union of Crystallography
