Conclusion
The study describes the crystal structure of a new compound formed from Norfloxacin and benzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid, revealing a three-dimensional supramolecular structure.
Supporting Evidence
- The compound's structure was determined using X-ray crystallography.
- Intermolecular hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions were observed in the crystal.
- The study provides insights into the supramolecular architecture of the compound.
Takeaway
Scientists created a new compound using a medicine called Norfloxacin and found that its molecules stick together in a special way to form a solid structure.
Methodology
The compound was synthesized by mixing Norfloxacin with manganese acetate and distilled water, then heated in a hydrothermal bomb.
