Conclusion
The study reveals that the molecules of 2-(2-chlorophenoxy)benzoic acid form hydrogen-bonded dimers that create a stable three-dimensional network.
Supporting Evidence
- The crystal structure shows classical hydrogen-bonded carboxylic acid dimers.
- The benzene rings in the structure are oriented at a dihedral angle of 77.8°.
- The dimers are linked by C—H⋯π interactions, forming a three-dimensional network.
Takeaway
This study shows how the molecules stick together in a special way to form a strong structure.
Methodology
The title compound was prepared using Ullmann condensation and crystals were obtained by dissolving the compound in ethanol and evaporating the solvent.
