Hypothesis

The study investigates the crystal structure and hydrogen bonding of 4-chloro-N-(3-methylphenyl)benzenesulfonamide.

Conclusion

The crystal structure features inversion-related dimers linked by pairs of N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

Supporting Evidence

  • The N—H bond is anti to the meta-methyl group in the aniline ring.
  • The C—SO2—NH—C torsion angle is −57.6°.
  • The sulfonyl and aniline benzene rings are tilted relative to each other by 84.7°.

Takeaway

This study looks at how a specific chemical compound is structured and how its parts are arranged, which is important for understanding its properties.

Methodology

The compound was synthesized and characterized using X-ray diffraction and spectroscopic methods.
