Area of Science:

• Crystallography
• Organic Chemistry
• Supramolecular Chemistry

Background:

• Understanding molecular interactions is crucial in materials science.
• Crystal structure analysis provides insights into intermolecular forces.
• Hydrogen bonding plays a key role in the self-assembly of molecules.

Purpose of the Study:

• To elucidate the crystal structure of the title compound C(14)H(13)BrN(2)O(3)S.
• To identify and characterize intra- and intermolecular interactions.
• To describe the resulting supramolecular architecture.

Main Methods:

• Single-crystal X-ray diffraction was employed to determine the molecular and crystal structure.
• Analysis of hydrogen bonding and non-covalent interactions was performed.
• Geometric parameters, including dihedral angles and ring motifs, were calculated.

Main Results:

• The compound exhibits an intramolecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond forming an S(6) ring.
• A significant dihedral angle of 86.47° was observed between the two benzene rings.
• Intermolecular N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O interactions lead to the formation of R(2)(2)(13) ring motifs.
• These interactions result in the assembly of molecules into one-dimensional chains along the c axis.

Conclusions:

• The crystal structure of C(14)H(13)BrN(2)O(3)S is characterized by specific hydrogen bonding.
• The identified interactions dictate the formation of 1D supramolecular chains.
• This structural information is valuable for understanding the solid-state properties of related compounds.
