Structural study and thermal behavior of novel interaction product of 4-amino-5-(furan-2-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione with molecular iodine

Abstract As a part of investigation of thyreostatic activity of mercapto-substituted triazoles, the structure, spectroscopic properties of 4-amino-5-(furan-2-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione were obtained. 4-amino-5-(furan-2-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione forms steady charge-transfer complex in dilute chloroform solution, coordinating one iodine molecule (lgβ = 3.47). The reaction product of 4-amino-5-(furan-2-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione is presented by uncharged adduct: C6H6N4OS·I2. The crystal structure of the adduct was studied in detail by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The results of thermogravimetric analysis revealed the stability of adduct in a solid state at the temperature range 50–500 °C. Graphical Abstract
