- The molecule is bent at the S atom with a specific torsion angle.
- The conformation of the N—H bond is syn to the ortho-chloro group in the adjacent benzene ring.
- The benzene rings are tilted relative to each other by a specific angle.
- An intramolecular N—H···Cl hydrogen bond is observed.
- The crystal structure features dimers linked by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
Takeaway
The researchers looked at how different chemical groups affect the shape of a specific molecule, finding interesting angles and bonds between atoms.
Methodology
X-ray diffraction was used to determine the crystal structure of the compound.
