• Molecular Structure Analysis

Background:

• Understanding the precise three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in organic compounds is crucial for predicting their properties and reactivity.
• The asymmetric unit provides the fundamental building block for the entire crystal lattice.

Purpose of the Study:

• To elucidate the crystallographic structure of the title compound, C(16)H(20)N(2).
• To determine the spatial orientation of ring systems within the independent molecules.

Main Methods:

• Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis was employed to determine the molecular and crystal structure.
• The asymmetric unit contents were analyzed to identify independent molecules and their geometric parameters.

Main Results:

• The asymmetric unit of C(16)H(20)N(2) was found to contain two independent molecules.
• The dihedral angles between the ring systems in the two independent molecules were precisely determined to be 78.94(3)° and 77.76(3)°.

Conclusions:

• The crystallographic data provides a detailed molecular model for C(16)H(20)N(2).
• The observed dihedral angles offer insights into the conformational preferences of the molecule in the solid state.
