Hypothesis
The synthesis and crystal structure of bis(4-(2-isopropyl-2H-tetrazol-5-yl)phenyl)dimethylsilane has not been previously reported.
Conclusion
The study successfully synthesized a new tetrazole functional silane and determined its crystal structure.
Supporting Evidence
- The compound has crystallographic 2 symmetry.
- The tetrazole ring is oriented at a dihedral angle of 5.32° with respect to the benzene ring.
- C—H⋯π interactions stabilize the crystal structure.
Takeaway
The researchers made a new chemical compound and figured out what it looks like by using special X-ray techniques.
Methodology
The compound was synthesized using tert-butyl lithium and dimethyldichlorosilane, followed by purification and crystallization.
