Conclusion

The crystal structure of the compound is stabilized by hydrogen bonds forming a three-dimensional network.

Supporting Evidence

  • The asymmetric unit contains one molecule of 1,4-dihydro-2,3-quinoxalinedione, one molecule of 5-nitro-isophthalic acid, and one water molecule.
  • The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
  • The synthesis involved heating a solution and cooling it to form crystals.

Takeaway

Scientists studied a new compound made of three parts, and they found that the parts stick together really well because of tiny connections called hydrogen bonds.

Methodology

The compound was synthesized by heating a water solution of 1,4-Dihydro-2,3-quinoxalinedione and 5-nitro-isophthalic acid, followed by cooling to room temperature to obtain crystals.
