In organic chemistry, isothiouronium is a functional group with the formula [RSC(NH2)2]+ (R = alkyl, aryl). The H centres can also be replaced by alkyl and aryl. Structurally, these cations resemble guanidinium cations. The CN2S core is planar and the C-N bonds are short.[1]

Salts comprising these anions are typically prepared by alkylation of thiourea:

SC(NH2)2 + RX → [RSC(NH2)2]+X−

Hydrolysis of isothiouronium salts gives thiols.[2]

[RSC(NH2)2]+X− + NaOH → RSH + OC(NH2)2 + NaX

Chelating resins with isothiouronium groups are used to recover mercury and noble metals including platinum from solutions.[3]
