Area of Science:

• Crystallography
• Organic Chemistry
• Materials Science

Background:

• Understanding the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in organic molecules is crucial for predicting their properties.
• Crystal structure analysis provides fundamental insights into molecular interactions and solid-state behavior.

Purpose of the Study:

• To elucidate the crystal structure of the organic compound C(15)H(13)N(3)O.
• To characterize the molecular geometry and intermolecular interactions within the crystal lattice.

Main Methods:

• Single-crystal X-ray diffraction was employed to determine the crystal structure.
• Analysis of dihedral angles between aromatic rings quantified molecular non-planarity.
• Identification and analysis of intermolecular hydrogen bonds (N-H⋯O) were performed.

Main Results:

• The asymmetric unit contains two similar molecules of C(15)H(13)N(3)O.
• Each molecule exhibits a non-planar conformation, with significant dihedral angles (45.2(2)° and 56.6(2)°) between the pyridine and benzene rings.
• The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

Conclusions:

• The crystal structure of C(15)H(13)N(3)O has been successfully determined.
• The non-planar nature of the molecule and the presence of hydrogen bonding are key features of its solid-state organization.
• This structural information is vital for understanding the compound's physical and chemical properties.
