Hypothesis
The study investigates the crystal structures of methyl prop-2-ynoate, dimethyl fumarate, and their protonated species.
Conclusion
The first single-crystal structures of methyl prop-2-ynoate and the protonated species of dimethyl fumarate were successfully characterized.
Supporting Evidence
- Methyl prop-2-ynoate was crystallized for the first time.
- The protonated species of both esters were isolated and characterized.
- Single-crystal X-ray diffraction confirmed the structures of the compounds.
Takeaway
Scientists looked at the structures of two chemicals and found new forms of them that had never been seen before.
Methodology
The compounds were crystallized and characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy.
