Hypothesis
The study investigates the structure of Bis(4-ethoxyphenyl) sulfoxide prepared via Friedel-Crafts acylation.
Conclusion
The crystal structure of the compound shows a dihedral angle of 82.7° between the benzene rings and features disordered oxygen in the sulfoxide group.
Supporting Evidence
- The dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 82.7°.
- The oxygen atom of the sulfoxide group is disordered over two orientations.
- Molecules are linked by intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
Takeaway
The researchers made a new chemical compound and looked at its structure using X-ray techniques to see how its parts fit together.
Methodology
The compound was synthesized using Friedel-Crafts acylation and characterized by X-ray diffraction.
