Conclusion
The study presents the crystal structure of a new chalcone compound, revealing specific dihedral angles and stabilization interactions.
Supporting Evidence
- The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the hydroxyphenyl and dimethoxyphenyl rings is 19.34°.
- The mean plane of the prop-2-en-1-one group makes angles of 7.40° and 13.25° with the hydroxyphenyl and dimethoxyphenyl rings.
- Crystal packing is stabilized by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions.
Takeaway
The researchers made a new type of molecule and looked at how its parts are arranged and held together.
Methodology
The compound was synthesized and its crystal structure was analyzed using X-ray diffraction.
