title: 6-Aminopyridine-3-thiol.
abstract: The title compound, C(5)H(6)N(2)S, is a simple but novel pyridinethiol of pharmacological interest. The molecule is planar. The crystal packing is dominated by hydrophobic contacts and a pair of hydrogen-bond interactions between the amino group of one pyridine molecule and the ring N atom of a neighbouring base, stabilizing the structure.
