“…The vibrational assignment of pyrazole itself has been investigated; [11][12][13][14][15][16] however, there is little information regarding vibrational spectra and structure of substituted pyrazoles and N-substituted pyrazoles in particular [17,18]. The subject of the present study, 5-amino-4-cyano-3-(methylthio)-1H-pyrazole-1-carbothioamide, (AMPC, C 6 H 7 N 5 S 2 ) has several structural characteristics: it contains linear AC"N (sp), planar ANH 2 (sp 2 ) along with tetrahedral ACH 3 (sp 3 ) moieties in addition to the pyrazole ring. To the best of our knowledge, conformational stability, vibrational, 1 H, and 13 C NMR spectra, and barriers to internal rotation for AMPC have not been previously considered either experimentally or theoretically.…”
