Thioheterocyclic compounds are very interesting ligands because they are able to coordinate to many metals and biological materials by their sulfur and nitrogen atoms. These compounds show potent anti-HIV activity and biological activity and also are suitable for fabrication of selective membrane sensors for monitoring low level of lanthanids. In this work, the reaction between 2,6-diamino pyridine and 4-methoxy phenyl isothiocyanate in 95% EtOH led to formation of N-2-(4-picolyl)-N'-(6-amino phenyl) thiourea. On cooling and reducing the volume, white powder formed. The result compound was characterized by IR, 1H, 13C-NMR spectra, elemental analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction. We obtained crystals of compound by recrystalization of this powder in ethanol and acetone solution (1:1). The crystal system of this compound is monoclinic with space group P21/c and 4 molecules per unit cell. The intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions of this compound was confirmed by 1H-NMR and single crystal X-ray diffraction.
