title: Benzaldehyde thio-semicarbazone.
abstract: The title compound, C(8)H(9)N(3)S, contains two mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. One mol-ecule is close to being planar (r.m.s. deviation from the mean plane = 0.06 Å for the non-H atoms), while the other exhibits a dihedral angle of 21.7 (1)° between the benzene ring and the mean plane of the thio-semicarbazone unit. Inter-molecular N-H⋯S hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into layers parallel to the (010) plane.
