Figure 4
The three fundamental connection modes for the formation of N—H⋯O=C bonds in 1-substituted derivatives of barbituric acid arising from the involvement of different carbonyl groups, and the corresponding numbers of observed dimer and catemer isomers. The (SbRh) form of methohexithal contains a dimer with mixed N—H⋯O=C2/N—H⋯O=C4 connectivity and was therefore not included. |
