Conclusion
The compound exhibits stable crystal packing due to intermolecular π–π contacts.
Supporting Evidence
- The compound's dithiole and oxindole rings are almost coplanar.
- The phenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 73.65° with the oxindole ring.
- Intermolecular π–π contacts stabilize the crystal packing.
Takeaway
Scientists created a new chemical compound and found that its structure is stable because the parts of the molecules stick together nicely.
Methodology
The compound was synthesized from a reaction involving carbon disulfide, tributylphosphine, benzyl isatin, and dimethyl acetyenedicarboxylate.
