Area of Science:

• Organic Chemistry
• Crystallography
• Supramolecular Chemistry

Background:

• Chemical synthesis and structural characterization are fundamental to understanding molecular properties.
• Dithio-carbazates and pyrazine derivatives are important classes of organic compounds with diverse applications.

Purpose of the Study:

• To synthesize and characterize a novel compound with the chemical formula C(14)H(14)N(4)S(2).
• To elucidate the crystal structure and intermolecular interactions of the synthesized compound.

Main Methods:

• Condensation reaction between benzyl dithio-carbazate and acetyl-pyrazine.
• Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis to determine the molecular and crystal structure.

Main Results:

• The synthesis yielded the target compound C(14)H(14)N(4)S(2).
• The crystal structure revealed two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit.
• Both molecules exhibited approximate planarity between the pyrazine ring and dithio-carbazate unit.
• Intermolecular N-H⋯S hydrogen bonds were observed, leading to the formation of centrosymmetric supramolecular dimers.

Conclusions:

• The study successfully synthesized and characterized a new organic compound.
• The crystal packing is governed by specific hydrogen bonding interactions, forming dimers.
• The structural data provides insights into the solid-state behavior of this class of compounds.
