Abstract:
The structure of the triclinic polymorph of acetone 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone, C(9)H(10)N(4)O(4), has been redetermined from diffraction data collected at 120 (2) K; the molecules are linked by C-H...O hydrogen bonds into centrosymmetric R(2)(2)(10) dimers which are themselves linked into a chain by an aromatic pi-pi stacking interaction. In the monoclinic polymorph, which crystallizes with Z' = 2 in the space group P2(1)/n, one type of molecule forms dimers exactly as in the triclinic polymorph, while the other forms C(6) chains.

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...
Alkynes to Aldehydes and Ketones: Acid-Catalyzed Hydration
Analogous to alkenes, alkynes also undergo acid-catalyzed hydration. While the addition of water to an alkene gives an alcohol, hydration of alkynes produces different products such as aldehydes and ketones.
