Conclusion
The study presents the crystal structure of a compound formed from the reaction of 4-methylbenzenesulfonyl chloride and 2-amino-pyrimidine, revealing hydrogen bonding and stacking interactions.
Supporting Evidence
- The crystal structure shows intermolecular hydrogen bonds linking cations and anions into chains.
- Weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds provide additional stabilization.
- An intermolecular π–π stacking interaction was observed with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.6957 Å.
Takeaway
Scientists made a new crystal by mixing two chemicals, and they found that the pieces of the crystal stick together in a special way.
Methodology
The compound was synthesized by refluxing a solution of 2-amino-pyrimidine with 4-methylbenzenesulfonyl chloride in CH2Cl2.
