title: Crystal structure of C-2-benzo-thia-zole-N-methyl-nitrone.
abstract: The mol-ecule of the title compound {systematic name: N-[(benzo-thia-zol-2-yl)methyl-idene]methyl-amine N-oxide}, C9H8N2OS, is close to planar [maximum deviation from the mean plane = 0.081 (2) Å], its conformation being stabilized by a strong intra-molecular attractive S⋯O inter-action [2.6977 (16) Å]. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked into centrosymmetric dimers by pairs of weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
