Abstract:
The title compound, C12H11NO3, is an inter-mediate used in the synthesis of many drug-like mol-ecules. The mol-ecule is almost planar, with the phenyl ring inclined to the isoxazole ring by 0.5 (1)°. The ester moiety has an extended conformation and is almost in the same plane with respect to the isoxazole ring, as indicated by the O-C-C-N torsion angle of -172.86 (18)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via pairs of C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds with the same acceptor atom, forming inversion dimers with two R21(7) ring motifs. The mol-ecules stack in layers lying parallel to (10-3). Analysis using Hirshfeld surface generation and two-dimensional fingerprint plots explores the distribution of weak inter-molecular inter-actions in the crystal structure.

Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the unhybridized p...
Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
