2-[2-(4-Nitro-phen-yl)hydrazinyl-idene]-1,3-diphenyl-propane-1,3-dione
Abstract:
In the mol-ecular structure of the title compound, C(21)H(15)N(3)O(4), the inter-planar angle between the benzoyl units is 89.7 (1)°. The corresponding angles between the phenyl-hydrazono and the benzoyl groups are 31.4 (3) and 60.8 (2)°, respectively. In the crystal, a strong resonance-assisted intra-molecular hydrogen bond (N-H⋯O) and a weak intra-molecular hydrogen bond (C-H⋯N) strongly affect the observed conformation of the mol-ecule. The crystal packing is determined by a strong inter-molecular hydrogen bond (N-H⋯O), giving rise to a helical chain along the a axis. In addition, two weak inter-molecular contacts (C-H⋯O) are observed.

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.
As with other organic compounds, alcohols and phenols...
Structure of Conjugated Dienes
Conjugated dienes are compounds characterized by the presence of alternating double and single bonds. In a conjugated system like 1,3-butadiene, the unhybridized 2p orbital on each carbon overlaps continuously, allowing the π electrons to be delocalized across the entire molecule. In contrast, this type of overlap does not occur in cumulated and isolated dienes, such as 2,3-pentadiene and 1,4-pentadiene, respectively. Instead, the π electrons remain localized between the double...
