Hypothesis

The study investigates the synthesis and crystal structures of two regioisomeric hydrazides.

Conclusion

The crystal structures of 2-hydroxy-N′-methyl­acetohydrazide and 2-hydroxy-N-methyl­acetohydrazide were successfully determined and analyzed.

Supporting Evidence

  • The structures of the compounds differ in the position of the methyl group.
  • Compound 1 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca, while compound 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c.
  • Hirshfeld surface analysis showed that H⋯H contacts dominate the crystal packing.

Takeaway

The researchers made two similar compounds and looked at how they are arranged in crystals.

Methodology

The compounds were synthesized using a one-step procedure and their crystal structures were analyzed using Hirshfeld surface analysis.

Limitations

The quality of the crystals was not very good, affecting the final quantitative parameters.
