The dihedral angle between the acetyl group and the planar thiourea group is 1.9 (5)°, and they are oriented at dihedral angles of 57.9 (5) and 59.77 (16)°, respectively, with respect to the phenyl ring. An intramolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond forms an <em>S</em>(6) ring motif. In the crystal, N—H⋯S and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the molecules, enclosing <em>R</em><sup>2</sup><sub>2</sub>(8) and <em>R</em><sup>2</sup><sub>2</sub>(12) ring motifs, into infinite chains along the <em>a</em>-axis direction. Hirshfeld surface analysis revealed that the most important contributions for crystal packing are H⋯H (31.1%), H⋯Cl/Cl⋯H (16.9%), H⋯S/S⋯H (14.4%), H⋯C/C⋯H (12.9%) and H⋯O/O⋯H (9.4%) interactions. Computational methods revealed N—H⋯S and N—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding energies of −13.8 and −10.1 kJ mol<sup>−1</sup>, respectively. Evaluations of the electrostatic, dispersion and total energy frameworks indicate that the crystal stabilization is dominated by dispersion energy contributions.</div>","PeriodicalId":7367,"journal":{"name":"Acta Crystallographica Section E: Crystallographic Communications","volume":"82 9","pages":"Pages 1066-1070"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148904995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
