The compound proved to be an efficient and selective naked-eye detector for the fluoride, cyanide, and hydroxide ions in DMSO. The crystal structure of the title compound was examined by using X-ray crystallographic techniques and found to be crystallized in the monoclinic space group P - 1 with the unit cell parameters: a = 8.1556(8) angstrom, b = 12.0127(11) angstrom, c = 13.2081(11) angstrom, alpha = 109.510(7)degrees, beta = 95.390(7)degrees, gamma = 103.660(7)degrees, Z = 2. The intramolecular N-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonding interactions between the N-H and the oxygen atom of C=O groups support a 1,1'-(naphthalene-1,8-diyl)3,3'-dibenzoyl-bisthiourea framework. Moreover, the combinations of N-H center dot center dot center dot S bonds produce R-2(2) (8) rings.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess1,1 '-(Naphthalene-1,8-diyl)-3,3 '-dibenzoyl-bisthioureaanion-binding receptorcrystal structurebisthioureaArticle36576477710.3906/kim-1201-12Q3WOS:0003119470000122-s2.0-84870791527Q3
