Conclusion
The study presents the crystal structure of a new molecular salt formed by cations and anions linked via hydrogen bonds.
Supporting Evidence
- The central benzene ring makes dihedral angles with the adjacent imidazole rings.
- The cations and anions form one-dimensional supramolecular chains along the c-axis.
Takeaway
Scientists created a new type of salt that has special structures, and they used X-ray to see how it looks.
Methodology
X-ray crystallography was used to determine the structure of the compound.
