The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C6H9N3, contains three crystallographically independent molecules of similar geometry. All of the molecules are almost planar, with r.m.s. deviations of 0.003, 0.016 and 0.005 Å. In the crystal, the molecules are linked by N—HN hydrogen bonds into zigzag ribbons parallel to the c axis, generating rings of R22(8) graph-set motif.

The binuclear title compound, [Cu2(C12H10N6S2)Cl2], possesses twofold rotational symmetry. The CuII atom occupies a four-coordinate pseudo-tetrahedral environment bound to one S atom, one imine N atom and one pyridine N atom from the N1,N2-bis(pyridin-2-yl)hydrazine-1,2-dicarbothioamidate ligand, and one Cl− anion. The metal atoms are connected via the bis-tridentate ligand into a binuclear structure. The molecule is bow-shaped with the pyridine rings inclined to one another by 51.56 (14)°. In the crystal, N—HCl hydrogen bonds lead to the formation of ribbons propagating along [001]. These ribbons are connected via C—HCl, C—HS and π–π interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.6146 (19) Å], leading to the formation of a three-dimensional structure.
