Conclusion

The study successfully synthesized a new compound with specific structural characteristics.

Supporting Evidence

  • The bond angle at the O atom connecting the benzene and quinoline rings is 116.0°.
  • The dihedral angle between the biphenyl benzene rings is 70.8°.
  • The quinoline ring system makes a dihedral angle of 16.5° with the adjacent benzene ring.

Takeaway

The researchers made a new chemical compound and looked at how its parts fit together.

Methodology

The compound was synthesized by mixing 8-hydroxyquinoline with 4'-Bromoethyl-2-cyanobiphenyl in methanol and then crystallizing the product.
