Abstract

Molecular structure, relative stability of conformers, and tautomers of (5-methyl-1H-[1,2,4]triazol-3-ylsulfanyl)-acetic acid (MTSA) have been investigated by experimental (X-ray diffraction) and theoretical (B3LYP/aug-cc-pVDZ) methods. It was demonstrated that in the solid state MTSA exists in N1H tautomeric form. This tautomer is not the most stable in gas phase and its stabilization is provided by environment effects.
