Abstract

There are two unique mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit of the title pyridine-thione derivative, C(6)H(7)NS, each of which adopts the thione rather than the mercaptan form. The rings in both mol-ecules are essentially planar, with maximum deviations from the least-squares planes through all non-H atoms of 0.021 (2) and 0.017 (2) Å. In the crystal structure, the mol-ecules form centrosymmetric cyclic dimers through inter-molecular N-H⋯S hydrogen bonds. Additional C-H(meth-yl)⋯S inter-actions generate a three-dimensional network.
