Conclusion
The study presents the crystal structure of the compound C13H9FN4O4, revealing its nearly planar molecular configuration and stabilizing interactions.
Supporting Evidence
- The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 6.6°.
- Crystal packing is stabilized by hydrogen bonds and weak intermolecular interactions.
- X-ray quality crystals were obtained through slow evaporation of a solvent mixture.
Takeaway
Scientists studied a special chemical compound and found that its shape is almost flat, which helps it stick together in a certain way.
Methodology
The compound was synthesized by refluxing 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine and 2-fluorobenzaldehyde in methanol, followed by recrystallization.
