4-(Benzyl-ideneamino)benzene-sulfonamide

Area of Science:

• Crystallography
• Supramolecular Chemistry
• Organic Chemistry

Background:

• Schiff bases are versatile compounds with diverse applications.
• Sulfanilamide is a key antibacterial sulfonamide.

Purpose of the Study:

• To characterize the crystal structure of a novel Schiff base formed from benzaldehyde and sulfanilamide.
• To investigate the intermolecular interactions and molecular geometry.

Main Methods:

• Single-crystal X-ray diffraction was employed to determine the crystal structure.
• Analysis of hydrogen bonding networks and torsion angles.

Main Results:

• The compound C(13)H(12)N(2)O(2)S crystallizes as discrete molecules.
• N-H⋯N and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link molecules into a 2D array in the bc plane.
• Specific torsion and dihedral angles describe the molecular conformation.

Conclusions:

• The study elucidates the solid-state structure and intermolecular forces of the synthesized Schiff base.
• The findings contribute to understanding the structure-property relationships in sulfanilamide derivatives.
