Conclusion
The study successfully characterized the crystal structure of the co-crystal formed by isonicotinonitrile and 4-methylbenzoic acid.
Supporting Evidence
- The co-crystal is formed by strong O—H···N and weak C—H···O hydrogen bonds.
- The two molecules are nearly coplanar with a small dihedral angle of 2.48°.
- The crystal structure was analyzed using a Rigaku Mercury2 diffractometer.
Takeaway
The researchers looked at how two specific molecules stick together to form a new structure, which helps us understand how these types of compounds can be used.
Methodology
The crystal structure was determined using X-ray diffraction techniques.
