Abstract:
The title 1:1 cocrystal, C(14)H(10)O(4)S(2).C(13)H(14)N(2) or H(2)L.bpp, has the two components connected by O-H...N hydrogen bonds to generate a one-dimensional zigzag chain running along the crystallographic a direction. These chains are further stacked into a three-dimensional supramolecular network by weak C-H...O and C-H...pi contacts. Comparison of the structural differences with previous findings suggests that deprotonated forms, hydrogen-bonding sites and flexible ligand conformations become significant factors that influence the topological arrangement and binding stoichiometry of the resulting cocrystals.

Stability of Conjugated Dienes
A comparison of the enthalpies of hydrogenation of dienes reveals that conjugated dienes release less heat on hydrogenation, rendering them more stable than their nonconjugated analogs.
π Molecular Orbitals of 1,3-Butadiene
The simplest conjugated diene is 1,3-butadiene: a four-carbon system where each carbon is sp2-hybridized and has an unhybridized p orbital that contains an unpaired electron. According to molecular orbital theory, atomic orbitals combine to form molecular orbitals such that the number...
Structure of Conjugated Dienes
Conjugated dienes are compounds characterized by the presence of alternating double and single bonds. In a conjugated system like 1,3-butadiene, the unhybridized 2p orbital on each carbon overlaps continuously, allowing the π electrons to be delocalized across the entire molecule. In contrast, this type of overlap does not occur in cumulated and isolated dienes, such as 2,3-pentadiene and 1,4-pentadiene, respectively. Instead, the π electrons remain localized between the double...
