Figure 2
Packing diagram of (II) projected on the ac plane, showing parallel chains of alternating molecules A (grey) and B (black) extending along the ac plane. Two such chains lying close to the ac plane are shown as ball-and-stick structures. The chains are stabilized by dotted hydrogen bonds between sulfone atom O3B of molecule B and the –OH group (H9A) of the carboxylic acid substituent of molecule A. Three other hydrogen bonds between the carboxylic acid groups of molecules A and B extend along the b axis to form chains of A and B molecules, represented as wire frame structures. H atoms not involved in hydrogen bonds have been omitted for clarity. |
