Hypothesis
What is the effect of replacing sodium ion with potassium ion on the solid state structures of N-chloroarylsulfonamides?
Conclusion
The crystal structure of potassium N-chloro-4-chlorobenzenesulfonamidate monohydrate shows a unique hepta-coordination of the potassium ion.
Supporting Evidence
- The structure shows each of the sulfonyl O and water O atoms to be bidentate bridging.
- The hepta-coordinated K+ cation is connected to two water O atoms, four sulfonyl O atoms, and one Cl atom.
- The crystal structure comprises sheets in the bc plane stabilized by O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds.
Takeaway
This study looks at how changing sodium to potassium in a chemical compound affects its structure.
Methodology
The structure was determined using X-ray crystallography.
