Crystal structures of pyridine-4-aldehyde thiosemicarbazone perchlorate and trifluoromethane sulfonate

The new salts of pyridine-4-aldehyde thiosemicarbazone: perchlorate (I) and trifluoromethane sulfonate (II) HN + C 5 H 4 -CH=N-NH-C(S)-NH 2 ·X − (X = ClO 4 , CF 3 SO 3 ) were synthesized and studied by IR and NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. The compounds were synthesized by a reaction of pyridine-4-aldehyde thiosemicarbazone with chloric or trifluoromethane sulfonic acid, respectively. Compound I crystallized in the triclinic crystal system, space group P -1, a = 6.8691(2) Å, b = 9.5406(4) Å, c = 9.6348(4) Å, α = 78.838(1)°, β = 77.618(1)°, γ = 69.661(1)°, Z = 2. Compound II crystallized in the monoclinic crystal system, space group P 2 1 / c , a = 7.3149(8) Å, b = 11.9830(16) Å, c = 15.143(2) Å, β= 96.949(4)°, Z = 4. The structures are formed by hydrogen-bonded ions. Moreover, the cations are linked in “dimmers” due to the weak N-H...S hydrogen bonds.
