Abstract

The title compound, C6H4BrNS, crystallizes in the space group P21/n with one complete molecule in the asymmetric unit. The non-H atoms are nearly planar (r.m.s for non-H atoms = 0.071 Å), with the nitrile group oriented antiperiplanar with respect to the thiophene S atom. Intermolecular Type I centrosymmetric Br Br halogen interactions are present at a distance of 3.582 (1) Å and with a C-Br Br angle of 140.7 (1). Additional weaker C-H N, C-H S, and S interactions are also present. A Hirshfeld analysis indicates Br Br interactions comprise only 1.9% of all the interatomic contacts.
