Thiosemicarbazide is the chemical compound with the formula H₂NC(S)NHNH₂. A white, odorless solid, it is related to thiourea (H₂NC(S)NH₂) by the insertion of an NH center. They are commonly used as ligands for transition metals.[1] Many thiosemicarbazides are known. These feature an organic substituent in place of one or more H's of the parent molecule. 4-Methyl-3-thiosemicarbazide is a simple example.

According to X-ray crystallography, the CSN₃ core of the molecule is planar as are the three H's nearest the thiocarbonyl group.[2]

Reactions

Thiosemicarbazides are precursors to thiosemicarbazones. They are precursors to heterocycles.[3] Formylation of thiosemicarbazide provides access to triazole.[4]
