Hypothesis

The title compound was synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction.

Conclusion

The crystal structure shows that water molecules stabilize the packing through hydrogen bonds.

Supporting Evidence

  • The dihedral angle between the quinoline ring and the benzene ring is 87.19°.
  • Water molecules form hydrogen bonds with acetamide molecules in the crystal structure.

Takeaway

The researchers made a new compound and looked at its structure using X-ray to see how it is built.

Methodology

The compound was synthesized using a reaction of 8-hydroxyquinoline and other reagents, followed by crystallization.
