Conclusion
The crystal structure of the title compound is stabilized by hydrogen bonds and features disordered cation carbon atoms.
Supporting Evidence
- The dihedral angles in the anion of the title compound are 64.3 and 75.2 degrees.
- The carbon atoms of the propan-1-aminium cation are disordered over two sets of sites.
- The crystal structure is stabilized by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
Takeaway
Scientists studied a special salt that has a unique structure and found that it stays together because of tiny bonds between its parts.
Methodology
The compound was synthesized by refluxing a mixture of chemicals and then allowing it to evaporate to form crystals suitable for X-ray analysis.
