Hypothesis
The study investigates the effect of substituents on the structures of N-(aryl)arylsulfonamides.
Conclusion
The conformation of the N—C bond in the compound exhibits gauche torsions with respect to the S=O bonds.
Supporting Evidence
- The molecule is bent at the S atom with a C—SO2—NH—C torsion angle of 64.3°.
- The two benzene rings are tilted relative to each other by 82.5°.
- Molecules are linked by pairs of N—H⋯O(S) hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers.
Takeaway
This study looks at how different chemical groups affect the shape of a specific molecule, helping us understand its structure better.
Methodology
The structure was determined using X-ray diffraction techniques.
