Primary Institution: Mangalore University
Hypothesis
To explore the substituent effects and the effect of replacing sodium ions by potassium ions on the solid state structures of N-halo-arylsulfonamides.
Conclusion
The crystal structure of potassium N,2-dichlorobenzenesulfonamidate sesquihydrate was determined, revealing hepta-coordination of the K+ ion.
Supporting Evidence
- The K+ ion is heptacoordinated by three O atoms from water molecules and four sulfonyl O atoms.
- The S—N distance of 1.582 Å is consistent with an S—N double bond.
- The crystal structure comprises sheets in the ac plane stabilized by hydrogen bonds.
Takeaway
The study looked at how different chemicals affect the structure of a specific compound, showing that potassium ions create a different structure than sodium ions.
Methodology
The title compound was prepared using a method similar to that reported in literature, and its purity was checked by determining its melting point.
