Conclusion
The study reveals that anthraquinone-1,5-disulfonate effectively participates in hydrogen-bonding and π-π stacking networks for forming acid-base molecular cocrystals.
Supporting Evidence
- The crystal structure consists of 1,10-phenanthrolinium cations and anthraquinone-1,5-disulfonate anions.
- A supramolecular network structure is formed via hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking interactions.
- The study indicates the stability of the crystal packing due to these interactions.
Takeaway
Scientists created a new type of crystal using specific chemicals, and they found that these crystals are held together by special bonds that help them stay stable.
Methodology
The crystal was synthesized by heating a mixture of disodium anthraquinone-1,5-disulfonate, FeCl3.6H2O, 1,10-phenanthroline, and water under autogenous pressure.
