zole, (IV) (Borbulevych et al., 1998; Boechat et al., 2004).
Within the molecules of (I) and (II) (Figs. 1 and 2), the
corresponding bond distances (Table 1) are fairly similar, and
they show no real evidence for aromatic type ꢀ-electron
delocalization. In particular, the CÐS distances are all much
longer than such bonds in thiophenes (Allen et al., 1987). In

each of (I) and (II), the CÐSÐC angle is less than 90 , with
diazole and a redetermination of
compensatory larger angles elsewhere in the rings (Table 1).
In each of (I) and (II), the amino groups act as double
donors in NÐHÁ Á ÁN hydrogen bonds (Tables 2 and 3).
However, in (I), the resulting supramolecular structure is one-
dimensional, while in (II) it is two-dimensional. In compound
(I), amino atom N2 in the molecule at (x, y, z) acts as
hydrogen-bond donor, via atoms H21 and H22, respectively, to
atoms N3 at (1 � x, 1 � y, 1 � z) and atom N4 at (x, y,

Comment
The structure of 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole, (I), was reported
several years ago (Khusenov et al., 1997). The use of room-
temperature diffraction data gave a ®nal R value of 0.079, but
no H-atom coordinates were reported, so that it is not possible
fully to analyse the supramolecular aggregation. We have now
reinvestigated this compound using diffraction data collected
