Hypothesis
The title compound was prepared as a potential ligand for tin.
Conclusion
The study reveals that the compound exhibits a planar conformation stabilized by hydrogen bonds, forming a double layer structure.
Supporting Evidence
- The compound's structure is stabilized by intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
- The maximum deviations from planarity in the molecule are due to the carboxylic acid-O atoms.
- The study utilized Agilent Supernova Dual diffractometer for data collection.
Takeaway
The researchers made a new chemical compound that can help in studying tin's effects, and it has a special flat shape because of how its atoms are connected.
Methodology
The compound was synthesized by refluxing pyruvic acid and phenylhydrazine in ethanol.
