Abstract:
The title compounds, 2-iodo-benzamide, C7H6INO (I), and 2-iodo-N-phenyl-benzamide, C13H10INO (II), were both synthesized from 2-iodo-benzoic acid. In the crystal structure of (I), N-H⋯O and hydrogen bonds form two sets of closed rings, generating dimers and tetra-mers. These combine with C-I⋯π(ring) halogen bonds to form sheets of mol-ecules in the bc plane. For (II), N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds form chains along the a-axis direction, while inversion-related C-I⋯π(ring) contacts supported by C-H⋯π(ring) interactions generate sheets of mol-ecules along the ab diagonal.

SN2 Reaction: Kinetics
In a chemical reaction, a relationship exists between the concentration of reactants and the rate at which the reaction proceeds. The study to measure this relationship is known as the kinetics of a chemical reaction. Kinetic studies are used to deduce the rate law of a chemical reaction, which provides information about the species involved during the transition state of the rate-determining step. Thus, kinetic studies help to derive the mechanism of a...
SN2 Reaction: Mechanism
The presence of the more electronegative halogen in the substrate creates a polarized carbon-halide bond. The halide pulls the electron cloud generating an electrophilic center at the carbon atom. Thus, the carbon atom carries a partial positive charge while the halide has a...
SN2 Reaction: Transition State
When the nucleophile approaches the electrophilic carbon with its lone pairs, the halide acts as a leaving group and moves away with the electron-pair bonded to the carbon. Dotted partial bonds represent the bonds being formed or broken...
