The new dithiocarbamate 4-vinylbenzyl 9H-carbazole-9-carbodithioate was synthesized and characterized by means of 1H NMR,elemental analysis,FT-IR,and X-ray crystallography.The crystal structure is of triclinic,space group Pī,with a=9.4301(19) nm,b=9.518(2) nm,c=10.541(2),α=83.909(16) °,β=77.279(13)°,γ=79.312(14) °,V=904.8(3) nm3,Z=2,F(000)=376,Dc=1.319 mg/ m3,final R1=0.0731,wR2=0.1615 for 10164 observed reflections with I> 2σ(I).The thermal stability of the title compound was also studied.The main released gas product of the thermal decomposition of the title compound were possibly nitrogen,carbon sulfide and hydrogen sulfide,and the final solid product was 14.5% carbon leavings.
