Conclusion
The crystal structure of the compound C16H14Br2N2O2 was successfully determined, revealing specific dihedral angles and torsion angles.
Supporting Evidence
- The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the two benzene rings is 33.4°.
- The hydrazine group exhibits slight twisting with specific torsion angles.
- The crystal packing is stabilized by weak van der Waals interactions.
Takeaway
