Abstract
1-(Biphenyl-4-carbonyl)-3-p-tolyl-thiourea (1) has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and IR spectroscopy. The crystal and molecular structure of the title compound has been determined from single crystal X-ray diffraction data. It crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1, Z = 4 with a = 9.6482 (17) Å, b = 13.271(2) Å, c = 14.109(3) Å, a = 92.793(4) °, b = 96.140 (4) °, g = 107.999(4) °, V = 1701.9(5) ų and D_calc = 1.352 Mg/m³.

Key words: Thioureas, benzoylthioureas, syntheses, X-ray structures, single crystal, X-ray crystallography.
