Abstract:
Molecules of N-(3-nitrophenyl)phthalimide, C(14)H(8)N(2)O(4), are linked into a three-dimensional framework by four distinct C-H...O hydrogen bonds [H...O = 2.35-2.58 A, C.O = 3.105 (5)-3.432 (5) A and C-H...O = 128-167 degrees ]. Molecules of N-(3,5-dinitrophenyl)phthalimide, C(14)H(7)N(3)O(6), lie across twofold rotation axes in space group P2/n and are linked by a single C-H...O hydrogen bond [H...O = 2.58 A, C...O = 3.410 (2) A and C-H..O = 147 degrees ] into chains of rings. These chains are weakly linked into sheets by intermolecular interactions involving short dipolar O...N and O...C contacts.

Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the unhybridized p...
