Conclusion
The crystal structure of the compound was determined to be a non-merohedral twin with specific dihedral angles between its molecular components.
Supporting Evidence
- The compound is a non-merohedrally twinned crystal.
- Two independent molecules were found in the asymmetric unit.
- The dihedral angles between the indole and phenylsulfonyl rings were measured.
- The crystal packing is stabilized by weak C—H⋯π interactions.
Takeaway
Scientists looked at a new chemical compound and found out how its parts are arranged in 3D space.
Methodology
The crystal structure was analyzed using X-ray diffraction techniques.
