Description
Summary:The synthesis, spectroscopic characterization, and X-ray crystal structure ofthe sodium salt of a new sulfonated water-soluble ligand, sodium 2-(2-pyridin-2-yl-ethylamino)-benzenesulfonate (L) are described. Compound L crystallizes in thecentrosymmetric space group Pbcn, orthorhombic, a=31.930(13) Ã¥, b=7.153(3) Ã¥,c=14.193(6) Ã¥, α=90.00, β=90.00, γ=90.00, V=3220(2) Ã¥3, Z=9. À−À stacking contactsinvolving interactions between the À-donor benzene and the À-acceptor pyridine systemsreinforce and direct the self-assembly of the structural motifs in the solid state.
