This study details the crystal structure of a planar C(12)H(10)BrN(3) compound. Molecules form zigzag chains through weak hydrogen bonding interactions in the crystal lattice.
Area of Science:
- Crystallography
- Chemical structure analysis
Background:
- Understanding molecular interactions is crucial in materials science.
- Planar organic compounds exhibit unique electronic and structural properties.
Purpose of the Study:
- To elucidate the crystal structure of the title compound C(12)H(10)BrN(3).
- To investigate intermolecular interactions and their influence on crystal packing.
Main Methods:
- Single-crystal X-ray diffraction was employed to determine the molecular and crystal structure.
- Analysis of atomic coordinates and bond parameters provided insights into planarity and conformation.
Main Results:
- The title compound, C(12)H(10)BrN(3), exhibits a nearly planar structure with a dihedral angle of 0.5(2)° between its aromatic rings.
- Crystal packing reveals molecules linked by weak N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming [001]-parallel zigzag chains.
Conclusions:
- The observed planarity and hydrogen-bonding network dictate the solid-state arrangement of C(12)H(10)BrN(3).
- This structural information is fundamental for predicting the compound's physical and chemical properties.
