Conclusion
The study reveals the crystal structure of N,N′-Diphenylthiourea acetone monosolvate, highlighting the formation of a centrosymmetric dimer through hydrogen bonding.
Supporting Evidence
- The phenyl rings of the thiourea molecule are in syn and anti positions in relation to the C=S bond.
- Two molecules are connected by N—H⋯S=C hydrogen bonds into a centrosymmetric dimer.
- An additional N—H⋯O=C hydrogen bond to the acetone solvent molecule stabilizes the structure.
Takeaway
This study shows how two molecules of a chemical compound can stick together in a special way to form a stable structure, like building blocks.
Methodology
X-ray crystallography was used to determine the crystal structure.
