The title compound, [(1-{4-[2-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)diazen-1-yl]phenyl}ethyl-idene)amino]thiourea, 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane monosolvate, C 15 H 15 N 5 O 2 SÁ-C 2 H 2 Cl 4 , was prepared from 4-(4-acetylphenyldiazendiyl)resorcinol and thiosemicarbazide and recrystallized from mixed solvents of tetrachloroethane and n-hexane. 1 H NMR and X-ray diffraction data are in support of the thione tautomeric form. The X-ray analysis shows the molecule crystallizes as a zwitterion, with proton transfer from the nominal phenol to the azide group; the N-N bond length is 1.291 (5) Å , and an intramolecular N-HÁ Á ÁO hydrogen bond is formed. In the crystal, N-HÁ Á ÁO, N-HÁ Á ÁN and O-HÁ Á ÁS hydrogen bonds connect the molecules into a three-dimensional network. The tetrachloroethane solvent molecules are linked to this network through weak C-HÁ Á ÁO linkages.
