2,5-Dichloro-N-(4-meth-oxy-phen-yl)benzensulfonamide.
The crystal structure of a novel dichloro-nitro-thio-benzoic acid derivative was determined. Molecules form chains via intermolecular hydrogen bonds in the crystal lattice.
Area of Science:
- Crystallography
- Organic Chemistry
- Materials Science
Background:
- Understanding the solid-state structure of organic compounds is crucial for predicting their physical and chemical properties.
- Crystal packing and intermolecular interactions significantly influence material characteristics.
Purpose of the Study:
- To elucidate the crystal structure of the title compound, C(13)H(11)Cl(2)NO(3)S.
- To investigate the intermolecular interactions governing the crystal packing.
Main Methods:
- Single-crystal X-ray diffraction was employed to determine the molecular and crystal structure.
- Analysis of the crystal structure included the measurement of dihedral angles and identification of hydrogen bonding networks.
Main Results:
- The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings in the title compound was found to be 74.37(3)°.
- Intermolecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds were identified, linking the molecules into one-dimensional chains along the b axis.
Conclusions:
- The crystal structure reveals a specific spatial arrangement of the dichloro-nitro-thio-benzoic acid derivative.
- The observed hydrogen bonding pattern dictates the formation of extended chains in the solid state, providing insights into its supramolecular assembly.

For disubstituted benzene derivatives, with two groups attached to the benzene ring, three constitutional isomers are possible. For example, consider dimethyl benzene, often called xylene, where the second methyl group can be substituted at the second, third, or fourth carbon. The relative position of the substituents is represented by prefixes ortho, meta, or...
