1-(4-Bromo-phen-yl)-2-ethyl-sulfinyl-2-(phenyl-selan-yl)ethanone monohydrate
Abstract:
In the title hydrate, C(16)H(15)BrO(2)SSe·H(2)O, the sulfinyl O atom lies on the opposite side of the mol-ecule to the Se and carbonyl O atoms. The benzene rings form a dihedral angle of 51.66 (17)° and are splayed with respect to each other. The observed conformation allows the water mol-ecules to bridge sulfinyl O atoms via O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating a linear supra-molecular chain along the b axis; the chain is further stabilized by C-H⋯O contacts. The chains are held in place in the crystal structure by C⋯H⋯π and C-Br⋯π inter-actions.

Structure and Nomenclature of Alcohols and Phenols
Alcohols are one of the most important functional groups in organic chemistry. The name of alcohol comes from the hydrocarbon from which it is derived. Alcohols are organic molecules containing the functional hydroxyl or –OH group directly bonded to carbon. Phenols have an OH group directly attached to a benzene ring. While alcohols are colorless, phenol is a white crystalline compound with a characteristic "hospital smell" odor.
