Article abstract of DOI:10.1107/S0108270198018083

The title compound, C₁₂H₁₁N₃S, contains an intramolecular N3 - H...N_py hydrogen bond, which stabilizes the coplanarity of the thiourea moiety and the pyridine (py) ring. The molecules form centrosymmetric hydrogen-bonded dimers, with the S atom forming bifurcated intermolecular hydrogen bonds involving the N2 - H group of the thiourea moiety and the C3 - H group of the pyridyl ring.
