Synthesis and crystal structure of (E)-2-({2-[azaniumylidene(methylsulfanyl)methyl]hydrazinylidene}methyl)benzene-1,4-diol hydrogen sulfate

Abstract

The title mol­ecular salt was obtained through the protonation of the azomethine N atom in a sulfuric acid medium. The crystal com­prises two entities, a thio­semicarbazide cation and a hydrogen sulfate anion. The cation is essentially planar and is further stabilized by a strong intra­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond.
