Abstract:
The complete molecule of the title compound, C(16)H(18)N(4)S(2), is generated by crystallographic inversion symmetry. The dihedral angle between the phenyl ring and the thio-urea group is 52.9 (4)°. The crystal structure displays inter-molecular N-H⋯S hydrogen bonding, which generates sheets in the ab plane.

Structure of Conjugated Dienes
Conjugated dienes are compounds characterized by the presence of alternating double and single bonds. In a conjugated system like 1,3-butadiene, the unhybridized 2p orbital on each carbon overlaps continuously, allowing the π electrons to be delocalized across the entire molecule. In contrast, this type of overlap does not occur in cumulated and isolated dienes, such as 2,3-pentadiene and 1,4-pentadiene, respectively. Instead, the π electrons remain localized between the double...
