publication Evidence: moderate

Author Information

Author(s): Jatinder P. Bassin, Virender P. Shah, Lee Martin, Peter N. Horton

Primary Institution: University of Hertfordshire

Conclusion

The study presents the crystal structure of a new chiral compound, which is stabilized by weak intermolecular hydrogen bonds.

Supporting Evidence

  • The compound has a twisted boat conformation.
  • There are two molecules in the asymmetric unit.
  • The crystal packing is stabilized by weak intermolecular hydrogen bonds.

Takeaway

Scientists made a new chemical compound and looked at its structure using special techniques. They found that the way the molecules stick together is important for its stability.

Methodology

The compound was synthesized by refluxing specific chemicals in ethanol and then crystallized from the solution.
